Schools in Broadstone

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Broadstone is a residential suburb of Poole, now within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) unitary authority. All four local schools are academies, three have Ofsted Good ratings, and one school is oversubscribed. The average fill rate of 86% suggests steady demand in this sought-after part of Dorset's eastern conurbation.

BCP Council coordinates the annual admissions round for non-academy schools, but as all Broadstone schools are academies, each trust sets its own oversubscription criteria. Corfe Hills School is the area's secondary, a large academy with sixth form provision. Broadstone Middle School is one of a small number of remaining middle schools in England operating a 9-13 age range, which means the transition structure differs from the standard primary-secondary model.
