School Meals

Poole Grammar School offers a compelling mixture of high-quality, nutritious food choices, and are committed to providing a freshly cooked food service in a convenient and fun way. All our meals are cooked on site by our own professional team led by a fully qualified Catering Manager. The school is proud to be in receipt of a Food for Life Gold Award for promoting healthy, environmentally sustainable eating. All lunch meals are £2.70 each. We use a cashless system where parents purchase credit via parentpay. The credit is attached to the student's ID card.

Homework Policy

Students must ensure that they know what homework has been set by regularly checking the school's electronic homework log; spend the allocated amount of time on the homework to ensure that the work is completed to a high standard; ensure that work submitted in response to a homework task is entirely their own work; not copy work; submit their work by the deadline set. If students need an extension to the deadline they must contact the appropriate teacher at least 24 hours in advance of the deadline.

Behaviour Policy

At Poole Grammar School, we believe that high standards of behaviour are essential for creating a safe, respectful and focused learning environment where every student can thrive. Our approach to behaviour is rooted in mutual respect, positive relationships, and clear expectations. We are committed to supporting all students in developing self-discipline, resilience and a strong sense of responsibility.

Mobile Phone Policy

No student should have their mobile phone visible at all during the school day. Phones should be turned off and left in a bag or locker. The only exception is for students who use their phones for medical needs such as diabetes monitoring. Some students will need to use their phones at the end of the school day to access their bus pass. Mobile phones will be confiscated and students will be sanctioned.

SEND Provision

The school recognises that students' behaviour may be impacted by a special educational need or disability (SEND). All students with a SEND will have an Individual Learning Plan and their behavioural needs will be documented in that document. Teachers may be asked to support students with Quality First Teaching strategies such as short, planned movement breaks, adjusting seating plans, adjusting uniform requirements, training for staff in understanding conditions such as autism, and use of separation spaces where students can regulate their emotions during a moment of sensory overload.
