Park School

Park School is the top-rated private prep school in Bournemouth, in the beautiful county of Dorset. Our Nursery and School are easily accessible from the city centre and surrounding towns and villages due to our location on Queens Park South Drive.

From their first day at Park School, children feel the strength of our family ethos, and are encouraged to achieve in every area of school life. Members of staff throughout the school are committed to the happiness, welfare and success of every pupil. In our most recent ISI inspection of February 2026, the inspectors commented on the school's strong sense of community and its pupils success, saying that, Pupils are self-motivated and eager to learn .

The popularity of Park School is rooted in the wide range of opportunities and experiences on offer here. Core subjects are supplemented by lessons in technology, languages, the arts, personal, social and health education, reasoning and critical thinking. Carefully differentiated teaching enables children to progress at different rates, challenging our high-fliers and providing individual support for those who require it. A full programme of sports and activities help Park children to become well-rounded, self-reliant individuals who love to learn. It is no accident that so many of our pupils win places and scholarships at local senior schools .
