Awful overbearing school
Over bearing rules, up to ten hours of detentions given per week for the most ridiculous reasons. Teachers are out of touch and somewhat rude. I do not recommend

No voice for kids
On the wrong path of too many rules, too many insignificant phone calls home which leads to less positive communications between parents and teachers, happy children make a happy school which makes a happy Ofsted report, instead of introducing more and more rules to shut children up , you need to be looking at teaching skills, and the inability to control children without so many rules, too much emphasis on how a child looks at this school, a nose stud and ear studs, have no relevance on educat...

This school is absolutely awful. The teachers are nasty, and some are outright bullies. Tracy Airoll, the headteacher, only cares about herself and how good she looks trying to push the school to a "good" rating, with no concern for the students' well-being. But the worst of them all is Karen Harrod. Karen is a truly horrible woman—vile, rude, and a complete bully. It’s well-known that everything can be going smoothly, but the moment Karen steps in, it all goes completely tips up. She’s so bad t...

Disappointing
My experience at this school isn't great at all I wouldn't recommend sending your children here come September, there is a lack of communication between staff and parents, there is favouritism for some pupils overall disappointing.

GET MR L BACK
my experiences at southchurch high school have been somewhat weird, but I need to get my head master to try and persuade Mr Latter to come back to our school because he was my favourite teacher and helped me with my mental health a LOT.

My experience at this school was okay. I went through bullying (which was racism) and this was not dealt with appropriately or quick enough which made me feel unsure about how the teachers valued every student differently. There was not much to do at break and lunch and we were limited to such a small area inside and outside at those times.

My time at Southchurch
My time here hadn’t been the best, bullied since year seven. I met great friends however, but they turned against me through some of the years. I met great teachers who accepted me as well as some friends who stayed for life. This school has a lot of work needed, especially for Pride(LGBTQ+) as we who are part of the community only GET a WEEK of being ourselves. We need more than a week, two at least. Or two and a half? At least tell us when we can be ourselves. It’s okay for straight couples to kiss and that but for us it isn’t until that week. We need more freedom in the school.
