Bournemouth Collegiate School is an independent independent school and boarding school based on two sites in Poole and Bournemouth, Dorset on the south coast of England. The preparatory school (ages 2-11) is located in Poole and middle school (ages 11-18) in the suburbs of Bournemouth, Southbourne. This school is the only independent school in Bournemouth and Poole.
The school operates in a separate location as a result of a merger between two independent schools, Wentworth College (Bournemouth) and Uplands School (Poole). The prep school is located on the highlands and high school sites of Wentworth. The new school is owned and operated by the United Church Schools Trust, which also has its predecessor schools.

Histori
Bournemouth Collegiate School was founded in September 2009 by the merging of Wentworth College in Bournemouth and Uplands School in Poole. Wentworth College has joined the United Church Schools Trust in August 2008, and Uplands School in June 2009 - UCST which brings them together to create a new school.
High School
The Highlands is an independent school in Poole founded in 1895 as Bourne School for Girls. It moved to various places before and after World War II and later became coeducational.
Wentworth College
Wentworth College was formerly an independent day and boarding school for girls. It takes its name from Wentworth Lodge, the building it occupies. The school was founded by the merger of two schools during the 1960s. Milton Mount College, founded in 1871, was originally located near Gravesend, Kent, and then moved to Worth Park near Crawley. The second, Bournemouth Collegiate School, was founded in 1899 in the city center and moved to Wentworth Lodge in 1923. Due to the number of students falling, Wentworth became coeducational in 2008. This went into administration in July 2008, which prompted UCST to propose merging.
