Background
History
Originally opened as Southchurch Hall School in Ambleside Drive in 1904, after the newly formed Essex County Council Education Committee took control of schools in Southend-on-Sea from the former Prittlewell School Board after the Education Act 1902. The current building was built to the designs of the Southend-based architects, Burles and Harris, in 1910. It was separated into boys, girls, junior mixed and infants' departments, but in 1914 control of the school was returned to Southend Borough Council. However Dowsett High School moved to the present site in Southchurch in 1966, where they continued to operate until 1981, when Southchurch Hall High School for Boys moved from Ambleside…
Description
In September 2016 the school renamed itself as Southchurch High School and became part of the Partnership Learning Academy trust. The OFSTED inspection in March 2023 had seen the school return to special measures, which resulted in new headteacher Tracey Airoll being appointed. On the return visit in December 2023 the school was graded as Requires Improvement by OFSTED and so therefore again left special measures.
