Talbot Heath School is a selective, independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3-18 and boys 3-7 located in Talbot Woods, Bournemouth. The school is set in its own grounds incorporating pine woodlands, open areas and well tended gardens and courtyards.
The school was founded in 1886 as Bournemouth High School with eighteen pupils. In 1935 the school moved from its original site in Westbourne to Talbot Woods and the school name was changed to Talbot Heath.
Talbot Heath comprises a junior school located in two buildings: St Margaret's and St Katherine's, a boarding house: St Mary's, and a senior school located in the main building. The school has over 600 pupils aged three to eighteen years. Boys are accepted from three to seven.
