The Purbeck School is a mixed community TOE school in Wareham in the central southern area of Dorset, England, near the Isle of Purbeck.
In 2015, the school was placed in the top 10% for schools nationwide based on value-added scores for exam performance at GCSE and A-Level. It was ranked the top performing school in Dorset.[1]
The organisation of schools in the Purbeck area is based on a comprehensive two-tier system. Children transfer at the age of 11 from eleven Primary Schools (ages 5 to 11) and most of them will then come to The Purbeck School (11 to 16).
The school also has a sixth form which has students ages 16 to 18.
