One shared set of selection tests for all four BCP consortium grammar schools (Bournemouth School, Bournemouth School for Girls, Parkstone Grammar School, Poole Grammar School), taken once at the consortium school where you registered: 1. Mathematics (about 50 minutes) — Key Stage 2 curriculum topics. 2. English (about 45 minutes) — comprehension, vocabulary and punctuation. 3. Verbal Reasoning (about 50 minutes). Papers are multiple-choice and age-standardised; the test may only be taken once per admissions round, and the single result is used by every consortium school you apply to. Registration runs later than most areas (historically closing at 12 noon in early September of Year 6, test in late September, results by email in mid-October before the 31 October application deadline).
Of the 139-student 2019/20 leaver cohort, sustaining a higher-education destination the following year. This is the last cohort the Department for Education published with an Oxbridge/Russell Group breakdown — these categories were discontinued as official accountability measures after this release, so a more recent figure does not exist.
Median price for the school's electoral ward, year ending March 2023 — a neighbourhood-level indicator, not the school's actual admissions catchment (catchments are often smaller than a ward or span parts of several).
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
