It doesn’t take long to appreciate that the continued success of Southend High School for Boys is built on the strong foundations of its past. The school’s history is not simply preserved — it actively shapes our ambitions for the future.
Old Southendians take great pride in the school’s current achievements and activities, and it is always a pleasure to see that enthusiasm continue. The Old Southendian Association (OSA) plays a vital role in maintaining this connection, offering former pupils a direct link to the present life of the school while also celebrating shared memories and traditions.
Many former students retain a lifelong affiliation with their school house, reflecting on the lasting influence of those early experiences of collaboration and competition. That enduring connection is a powerful reminder that our future vision for the school remains firmly rooted in its rich heritage.
The OSA offers valuable support — not only in practical ways that benefit the school and its current pupils — but also by encouraging a sense of continuity, enabling our students to carry the values and principles of their school years into adult life.
