❄️Our Iceland Trip was a huge success, so we just had to share it with you. This is one of the most unique countries in the world providing an insight into the power of the Earth from spectacular waterfalls, geysers and the point where two continents meet. Our expedition provided valuable insight into many Geographical topics studied at A Level, as well as providing many unforgettable experiences such the world-famous Blue Lagoon or driving over this tough terrain with a Super Jeep Tour. Our busy itinerary also included: Bridge Between the Continents, Gunnuhver Hot Springs, Secret Lagoon, Gullfgoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area, Thingvellir National Park, Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Kleifarvatn, Krẏsuvík Mud Puddles and Reykjavík.❄️
Washington Trip – Our History and Politics students had the amazing opportunity of visiting Washington D.C. The trip was a great success with students having first-hand experience of the political institutions they will be learning about in their course to ensure a full understanding of their operation.
Our students attended the A-Level conference at Wells Cathedral School for Religion & Philosophy, alongside Chris Eyre (Principal examiner for OCR). This exceptional event was both informative and engaging for our A-Level students.

Former Parkstone student, Megan, has had tremendous success in science. Hear her story so far…
After studying Geology at A-Level at Parkstone Grammar School, Megan went on to graduate from the University of Leeds with a masters degree with distinction in Structural Geology and Geophysics. From this she secured a job at CGG as a Geoscientist where she has been a part of many projects within the oil and gas, geothermal and CCUS industry, including writing published papers about new and innovative techniques and their applications to the energy industry.
We’re so proud of your achievements Megan, please keep us updated!
Please send us a DM if you are a former student with a success story you would like to share to inspire our students.

Parkstone Grammar School Statement:
In response to the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, the school is constantly reflecting on how it can play a positive role going forward. We realise we have a duty to send out a clear message that racism is not tolerated.
We are categorical that we will not tolerate racism and that ignorance and prejudice are never acceptable. We acknowledge that schools can play a major role in dismantling systemic racism.
We have made some progress via our curriculum, ethos and vision, but we also know that there is much still to do and it is appropriate that we reflect on how we can continue to play a positive role going forwards. We are committed to listening to our community, to drive change and to better equip our students with the knowledge they need to understand and address complex social issues as well as recognise and combat racism.
Recently, swimmer Jes (Y11), broke the Dorset Junior Record for the 200m Butterfly (8 lengths). This record had stood for 25 years since 1998, and Jes managed to knock 1.5 seconds off the previous time. Congratulations Jes, Parkstone is proud of your achievement!
