Welcome from the
Headteacher

As the headteacher of St. Bernard’s High School, I am delighted to welcome you to our website and thank you for showing interest in our school. St Bernard’s (as we often are known) has a wonderful history of providing an excellent Catholic education to young people in Southend and its surrounding areas. We are a highly successful bilateral girls’ school with a thriving mixed sixth form.

High expectations and educational standards alongside all-encompassing pastoral care make St Bernard’s more than a school. We recognise and seek to further develop, deepen and nurture the individual talents, abilities and possibilities of all the students that we serve.
