Mrs A Clewlow Headteacher

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 2011, at GCSE 99% achieved 5 or more A* - C grades and 60% 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 70% of the grades were A*/B. SHSG is known for the care 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.
