Corfe Hills School is a secondary school in the urban fringe between Poole and Wimborne, located in Broadstone, Poole, Dorset, England. In 2001, the school was given Technology College status, and the school became an academy in 2011. The school has 1,584 students and over 100 teaching staff. It serves Corfe Mullen, Broadstone, Wimborne, Merley and Sturminster Marshall. It also has a small sixth form centre. The school was established in 1976 and has since grown every decade, with a periodical expansion of buildings. The current headteacher is Gary Clark, in his first headteaching position, who has succeeded Alan Hinchliffe who led the school from 2003 to 2012. Hinchliffe succeeded Andrew Williams who left in 2003.
For over 25 years the school has produced a musical for a week at the Poole Lighthouse theatre, a regional arts centre. Further music and drama productions take place in the spring and summer terms - a Christmas carol service is held at Wimborne Minster and as a spring concert at the St. Nicholas church in nearby Corfe Mullen. The school also enters a team into the annual Rock Challenge Dance competition, coming second at the 2006 southern finals. Recent productions include Crazy for You, Godspell, Tommy, In to the Woods, Hot Mikado, "Anything Goes" and Sweet Charity, Fiddler on the Roof, Oliver Twist and more.
The school has international links, of which its rugby, hockey and Netball tours are the best known. In recent years the teams have travelled to South Africa, New Zealand and Fiji, led by coaches Lyn and Di Lewis, Lyn being the chairman of the English Schools Rugby Association. The school sporting facilities include an indoor sports hall, gym, and outside area, including football and rugby pitches, a cricket strip, an all weather clay hockey pitch, a 400m running track and four tennis courts.
