Poole High School

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).
