School - Park Life

Firmly rooted in the local Bournemouth community, Park School is a vibrant, thriving school of around 300 children.

Our popular Nursery takes babies from the age of three months until most join the main school at the age of four. We also maintain our close partnership with Dean Park Day Nursery and Little Crickets Forest School. Many children join Park School from these partner nurseries.

There are two classes in each year group from Reception through to Year 6 with an average of twenty children in each class.  

Our school enjoys a reputation for excellence but above all, it is a happy school, where children feel safe, valued and supported by strong relationships with their teachers and their friends. Our nurturing environment supports children to try their hardest in all that they do, inspiring learning through innovation and exciting teaching. 

This vibrant co-ed prep in Bournemouth has a happy, unpretentious atmosphere – and while its setting is suburban, its attitude is far from it, with regular beach school, alfresco science lessons and two delightful nurseries in the grounds of the old county cricket ground. Talk Education Review, 2025

What we care about most is developing well-rounded and complete young people; your child will move on from us with confidence, ready for life’s challenges.
