Student Welfare

At Shoeburyness High we have a dedicated team of non-teaching Year Managers who are responsible for the physical, social and emotional well-being of the children in our care. By supporting these aspects of their life at school we endeavour to help all of them to settle, progress and ultimately fulfil their academic potential.

Our Year Managers are also available to support parents and carers as and when needed. Please feel free to contact them by telephone or email and they will be happy to help resolve any queries or issues you may have.

We value excellent communication between home and school and strive to resolve issues that may arise as swiftly as possible. We also welcome any suggestions from parents indicating what we are doing well and what we could do further to continue to improve experiences for our students.

Academic Progress

If you wish to make an enquiry about your child's progress in a specific subject, please contact your child's subject teacher or the Head of Faculty/Subject. If you are worried more widely about your child's progress, please contact their Head of Year.

The Head of Year role is to monitor the progress of individual students and groups of students within their designated cohort groups. Where students are performing in line with or exceeding their targets, Heads of Year are there to celebrate achievements with assemblies, rewards, awards evenings, postcards, certificates and letters home. Where students are not quite reaching their targets, Head of Year ensure effective interventions are put in place.

The function is completely holistic across the whole curriculum and not subject specific (unlike a Faculty Leader) – it’s the progress of the pupil in all subjects and how to achieve maximum success for that child.

Teacher's names can be found on your child's timetable on My Child At School.
