Year 7

Parents of pupils allocated a place at Westcliff High School for Girls will receive a welcome pack from the school electronically at the start of the Summer Term.

Please note that our Year 7 Induction Day will be on Friday, 7th July 2023 and it is an expectation that all prospective pupils will attend.  Previously we advertised a two day induction, but on request of Southend City Council, this will now be just one day.  

Westcliff High School for Girls is unable to deal with queries relating to our waiting list for school places in Year 7 for September 2023.  Parents should contact the Local Authority where they live:
