Welcome to Southend High School for Girls ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   Southend High School for Girls judged 'outstanding' in all aspects by Ofsted December 2011.   We are proud of our oustanding school. For nearly a hundred years SHSG has helped young women develop independent, open minds, curiosity and a keen sense of responsibility. In the sixth form boys as well as girls join the school. Our students gain excellent results at GCSE and A Level. In 2012, at GCSE 100% achieved 5 or more A* - C grades and over 62% of the grades achieved were A*/A. More than a quarter of the girls achieved ten or more A*/A grades. At A level, 100% of the students achieved a pass grade and 72% of the grades were A*-B. SHSG is known for thecare and support it gives its students. This contributes to a sense of security and belonging. The warmth and friendliness of the school is readily extended to visitors and to the community I hope you find a taste of what we do on the following pages.
