An excellent induction programme for new pupils helps identify their learning needs and helps them settle into school life. 
Welcome to Southborough High School
Our focus is on achievement and all pupils are encouraged to do their best and fulfil their own special potential.
Examination success is very important to us but we also value other achievements.
Participation in extra-curricular activities, successes in the workplace and ensuring positive contributions to community activities reflect some of the many dimensions of learning that are highly valued at Southborough High.
By working in partnership with parents, our well qualified staff and the school's governors aim to secure a successful future for all students based on a foundation of good examination performance and high levels of social responsibility.
Tesco for Schools and Clubs
From Monday 1st March until Sunday May 9th, we are collecting Tesco for Schools and Clubs vouchers.
Please donate as many vouchers as possible to the school, so they can be used to purchase ICT equipment.
The collection box is stored in the Library and please ensure that all vouchers are sent into the school by the end of May.
