Welcome
At Southborough our purpose is to make the difference for all our students. We start doing this from the very start of our students’ school careers - their transition to secondary school. We recognise each year brings a new cohort of Year 7s with their families who share a range of emotions from excitement to apprehension and our transition programme is designed to give all of them the best possible start.

Hello Year 6! I am thrilled to know that you have chosen Southborough High School for the next chapter in your lives and I am looking forward to starting this journey with you. I will be your Head of Year next year and together, with staff of SHS, we will make it the best yet! The transition process that we are using this year is different than it would normally be but rest assured that we are working hard behind the scenes to ensure your transition from primary to secondary will be a smooth one.

We actively encourage our students get involved in our extensive Extra-Curricular offer. We know for some students that the transition to secondary school can be an anxious time. Find out the what help and support the school can offer through our Student Support Service. At Southborough we have a popular rewards store to acknowledge those student who work hard. See what students can claim from our ACE Rewards. We have also provided parents/carers with some Advice and Guidance on how best to support their child's transition to us. We also provide regular Parental Support Workshops where all students, parents/carers are welcome.
Introduction to ClassChartsAt Southborough we know communication is vital to ensure a smooth transition into Year 7. Parents can be concerned about who to talk to if they have any worries when their child moves to secondary school. As far as possible, we aim to duplicate the quality of communication that you are used to receiving from your son’s primary school. It is important to uphold connections between school and home: it allows us to fully support your son; clear home/school relationships enhance the experience of all students and therefore at Southborough, we use Class Charts to communicate with students and parents/carers daily. |
