Worst school ever ! So racist and not diverse at all! The teachers don’t care for bullying and let my kid be called a terrorist and other racial slurs , the school needs to be shut down for the lack of attention towards these poor children !!!!!!!
Amazing one 😍 I loved the school especially the teachers but international students may find the equations difficult hope they'll help
But the teachers are so cool and students too...
I have two children at PHS, one is about to go into 6th Form and the other is currently year 9 and both have done extremely well here, they are happy at school, the teachers seem to genuinely want to teach (which is refreshing) yes they are quite strict but with 1,895 kids you have to be in full control! The work ethic is good, the trips are good, they have a breakfast club and after school activities which are free so the school is pretty much open from 7.30-4pm
My son currently attends the school and is thriving. Overall he likes his teachers and has a couple of favourites who he will really miss when he no longer has them. He works hard and is recognised for this.
Not the worst school in the area but a lot of things could've been much better. In both secondary school and sixth form there was a lot of bullying going on behind the scenes which the school didn't handle well, including homophobic and racist incidents, and tends to punish students for standing up for themselves in a reasonable way rather than the original perpetrators.
Academics-wise, it's decent but doesn't have much support for students with dyslexia, autism, etc. Also virtually no support or understanding for LGBT+ students, students who don't have a lot of money (especially if they need to work part-time) or students with bad home lives. There are a few good teachers in this aspect but most sadly aren't good at all.
I had one very bad experience with one of my teachers who claimed that I was 'too stupid to achieve anything'.
I wouldn't recommend this school, especially for any students who come from marginalised groups.
Poole High is really an amazing school. I moved my daughter to this school in year 10 because I had had enough of the inconsistent discipline of her previous school. Since being at Poole High with their amazing structure and their very strong anti bullying principles my daughter has dramatically changed into a person with drive and ambition for her future. I cannot stress how much I love all the teachers and leaders at poole high for what they have given to my daughter and to us as a family because I get a happy teenager at the end of the day. Poole High you are truly amazing. Thank you do much for changing our lives in such a positive way.
