Southend High School for Girls is a high-performing grammar school – academic excellence is at the core of our purpose and commitment to students and parents. Teachers are passionate about their subjects and are experts in their fields. We are unashamedly ambitious for our students and challenge them far beyond the National Curriculum. For example, in Year 7 students learn Latin and classical Greek, in addition to learning how to code in computer science. At GCSE, students can take Further Maths and Statistics, including additional subjects beyond the curriculum, such as Critical and Contextual Art. At A Level, students study four subjects and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
Lower School: Years 7 – 9
From Year 7, students study the separate science disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology; they are taught by subject specialists. This places a greater demand on students and prepares them for triple science at GCSE and for studying the sciences at A Level. Within the Science Faculty, students in Lower School also study Computer Science; this is a popular subject at GCSE and A Level.
Middle School: Years 10 – 11
In Middle School (Year 10 and 11), students complete a full range of GCSEs, and all complete the EBacc, studying at least one language, a humanity, physics, chemistry, biology, English Literature and English Language, and mathematics. In addition, two option subjects are chosen, including from technology, computing, PE, and the arts. As with Lower School, all students study Relationships and Sex Education (with consultation), and Personal, Social and Health Education. They continue with a taught programme on CEIAG.
Sixth Form: Years 12 – 13
In the Sixth Form all students choose four A Level subjects and many complete the extended project qualification (EPQ). Students follow a curriculum that provides: Progression and stretch, building on GCSE achievements, Work shadowing or industry placements, Non-qualification activities such as a full tutorial programme, work to develop study, leadership and teamwork, and self-management skills. High-quality preparation for post 18 pathways and impartial careers guidance
