"I would welcome a school with this ethos and aspirations for pupils. Secondary education in particular in Bournemouth/Poole area is very poor apart from Grammar Schools."

"This area needs a school that teaches the Montessori method as there are only nurseries and no further education. We do need more primary/ secondary schools in the area." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I live in Moordown\Winton and the current School situation is of great concern. There does not appear to be enough School places for the population of children in this area and the standards of most of the School's appear to be slipping and the state School's are clearly underperforming."

"Would love the school to open in Bournemouth as the situation in [our] area is getting quite desperate. Little or no parental choice with one primary school closed down and the other schools getting ridiculously large. [Our local school] received a failed OFSTED report but has to expand. Current intake is over 120 in a year group. This is not what I want for my child!!!... Very worried but cannot afford to move out of the area."
