Beyond the classroom

Enrichment at SHSB

At SHSB we offer a wide range of enrichment activities, from exciting day trips, residentials, debating competitions, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, School productions, concerts and many sporting activities and competitions.

Our extra-curricular clubs are many and varied. We encourage pupils to join at least one activity when they start school — it is an excellent way to make new friends.

Established 1908

The House system

The house system is a longstanding and important part of life at Southend High School for Boys, having been established in 1908. Every student belongs to one of four houses—Athens, Sparta, Troy or Tuscany—which compete throughout the year in a wide range of academic, sporting, creative and charitable activities.

The four houses of SHSB: Troy (Bravely and Rightly), Tuscany (Nothing Without Effort), Sparta (Not for Self but for House), Athens (Second to None)
