Welcome to Shoeburyness High School

Welcome to our Sixth Form and welcome to Shoeburyness High School!We are all very proud of what we have achieved with our Sixth Form. We have one of the widest ranges of Sixth Form courses of any school in the Borough, with growing numbers of students and increased progress.We have excellent systems that support the students’ pastoral needs as well as ensuring that every student is challenged academically. As Head of Sixth Form, I work closely with our Sixth Form Year Manager, Mrs Garrod, who provides excellent support and guidance to every student in Year 12 and 13. Students have access to a wide range of super-curricular activities to prepare them for University, apprenticeships and their career paths.I believe that every student gets the best of everything at our school: high quality teaching, excellent pastoral support and rigorous academic challenge. It’s what makes us special: academic study in a really supportive community.Mr M SmithAssistant Headteacher & Head of Sixth Form
