Results for Year 13

Congratulations to all SHSG's year 13 students on an excellent set of A' level results. 72% of the grades achieved were A* - B (an increase on last year) and almost all have already been accepted onto their choice of university courses. Five achieved Oxbridge places.  About 12% of the grades were A* and 41% achieved A*/A. The school was delighted too with the results from the new Extended Project Qualification which was trialled successfully this year. Twenty six students completed and submitted their project and eight achieved A*, two gained an A and a further six a B. The experience has proved a valuable one as preparation for university and the grades have added to the points earned by individual students. In most cases they will also be awarded the Baccalaureate qualification.

 

RESULTS FOR YEAR 11

Congratulations to year 11 students who have just received their GCSE results. All achieved the important 5 A - C grades.  60% of grades were an A* or A and 29 girls achieved all A* and A grades. Most have enrolled to join the sixth form and we are also pleased to welcome some excellent students who will be joining SHSG in September.

The results put us amongst the top schools in the country and we wish all our students every success as they progress to the next stage of their education. 

 

World Challenge

Welcome back to the staff and students who have returned safely from their expedition to Madagascar. They have had a marvellous and fascinating time and we look forward to hearing all their adventures when they have had time to recuperate.

 

At Southend High School for Girls we are proud of our school and I hope this website will give you a glimpse of the life of our community.

The school was founded in 1913 and since then generations of students have benefited from a rigorous academic education and positive, happy ethos. The school has always aimed to help young women develop independent, open minds, curiosity and a keen sense of responsibility. Now, we expect girls to go to the best universities and colleges and to embark on careers where they will flourish and influence their community in a rapidly changing world.

Although we are nearly 100 years old we are full of energy and relish challenge and change. The school offers a varied, challenging and ambitious curriculum and an exciting array of extra curricular activities. Ofsted commented on the exceptional range of opportunities available to girls during their time at SHSG.

The facilities too are modern and well designed. Our new Art and Technology Block and Sports Hall opened in 2008 are the envy of all who see them and there are up to date facilities for Science and ICT. When you visit you will also see the welcoming reception area and the light and modern cafeteria.

The school enjoys an excellent reputation locally: our results at GCSE and A level are enviable; girls excel themselves on work experience, working for charity and playing music and sport. Ofsted, in February 2007, found the school to be 'outstanding' and visitors often comment on the courtesy, consideration and attentiveness of our students.

So when you come to visit you will be assured of a friendly welcome.

We look forward to meeting you.
