About

New STEAM Learning Space Unveiled Building on a Tradition of Educational Excellence Established in 1928, Park School is a co-educational, independent day school, highly respected in the Bournemouth area and wider Dorset county, for providing outstanding education for boys and girls up to the age of eleven.

Park Schools reputation for excellence is evidenced in our most recent ISI Inspection report, and many of our children pass the test to one of our local Grammar Schools or gain scholarships to local Independent Secondary Schools. However, Park School provides much more than the academics. We hope you will visit us to see the magic happen, and what we can offer your child.

We pride ourselves on our academic excellence. Our Nursery has an Outstanding Ofsted report, highlighting our exceptional early years provision. Additionally, the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) has awarded us an "Excellent" rating across all areas. Our curriculum challenges students while providing personalised support to help each child excel.

At Park, we believe in nurturing the whole child. Alongside our daily curriculum, we offer a rich array of co-curricular activities, including LAMDA, sports, music and STEAM clubs.
