    Poole Schools & Education

    Not entirely unexpected, the quality of education in Poole is first rate and there are several Ofsted-rated “outstanding” school catering to all ages.

    The local Poole High School is a co-educational secondary school and sixth form located in the centre of town. It achieved a “good” rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection.

    Parkstone Grammar School is one of the most highly regarded schools in the region, rated as “outstanding”.

    Just under two miles from the town is Bournemouth & Poole College.

    This very popular local choice provides FE, higher education, and community-based courses for the region. It is one of the largest colleges in the UK with as many as 11,000 students.

    With two state-of-the-art universities, studying in Poole is the ideal place to upskill or study for a job within your chosen career path.

    Why Move to Poole?

    There are plenty of reasons why so many people have already decided to head South permanently to the picturesque town of Poole, Set in the heart of stunning Dorset, not only is Poole an enviable location with regards to its entertainment factor and natural beauty, but it also makes an incredibly practical locale.

    This well-connected town provides its residents with an enviable lifestyle along with all the trappings of coastal or countryside living. The town is popular with families, thanks to its safety factor and the well-regarded schools in the region.

    Due to its affluent reputation, it is also popular with celebrities such as footballers, DJs, writers, and musicians.

    Within a short distance, you can immerse yourself in the world-renowned Jurassic coastline, and picnic in the ancient New Forest National Park. The cherry on the top is that it offers easy access into London, ideal for city commuters.

    Poole railway station operates a fast train so you can be in central London within two hours. But not everyone chooses to commute to the capital. The town’s close neighbour Bournemouth provides plenty of employment for residents and can be reached easily by road or rail within 20 minutes.

    A trip to Europe is all that much easier when you live in Poole. The ferry will whisk you away to many European destinations including France and the Channel Islands – Jersey and Guernsey in no time.

    Poole Harbour is proudly Europe’s largest natural harbour and the second biggest in the world behind Sydney. Formed as long ago as 7000 years, the bustling harbour was a key port.

    Today it is just as busy as both a port and a tourist destination. Home to the Sunseeker Superyacht shipyard, known throughout the world for its building of luxury boats.

    Some of its property offerings are literally priceless and well out of the reach of mere mortals. Hence its reputation among the rich and famous as being the “Marbella of the UK”.

    But there is more to the town than this. For shops and restaurants, the Quay should be your first port of call. To complement this there are also plenty of great stores and eateries dotted around the main town area.

    Perhaps not quite as lively, just back from the quayside and you are amid a network of little lanes. Lined with more restaurants and alfresco dining eateries and a multitude of pubs and bars, there is o shortage of places to dine.

    There is a whole lot more that could be said about Poole but the fact that it is regularly listed as among the “top 10 nicest places to live in the UK” probably sums it up best.

    Things to do in Poole

    The problem with Poole is that it offers such a vast array of entertainment locations and annual events that it is hard to list everything here.

    Suffice it to say that there is little chance of being bored!

    Some of the more popular highlights of the area include:

    Poole Quay – A perfect spot to people watch at one of its local watering holes such as the popular Jolly Sailor.

    Catch a boat to Brownsea Island and see if you can spot one of its rare red squirrels. The island’s lagoon plays a vital role in providing a haven for overwintering birds, ideal for nature lovers.

    Discover Poole from the water by booking a boat tour. There are several companies offering trips around the harbour and along the Jurassic coastline or up nearby Wareham River to the Victorian seaside resort of Swanage.

    Get outside locally by visiting Poole’s numerous outdoor spaces, including Upton Country Park and Hamworthy Park. Poole Park has a boating lake, an ice rink, tennis courts and cafés.

    Home to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Lighthouse arts centre is the largest arts centre in the United Kingdom outside London. It is a nationally important cultural building where creative work is made, rehearsed, discussed, shared, and presented.

    Younger children will love Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park. Designed specifically for children aged 0-8 years, everything here is aimed at families with little ones. All kinds of animals, tractor rides, an outdoor play area and lots more will keep even the most demanding child happy.

    To learn more about Poole and its fascinating history visit Poole Museum. Housed in the oldest building in the town spread across four floors packed with interesting information and exhibits spanning thousands of years.
