Seabrook Secondary

Grey uniform, a reference library and a school paper edited with some rigour.

Seabrook Secondary is the town’s secondary school. It stands west of the River Seabrook, near the bridge at the end of the High Street. The uniform is grey.

The school library has a reference section, which holds back issues of the Seabrook Chronicle. Pupils may consult them with the permission of Mrs Alderton. History is taught by Miss Barker, who attaches importance to punctuality.

The school has a newspaper, written and edited by its pupils. It is produced on a small budget and to an exacting standard, and has the use of a business journalism database. The editor is Alice Penrose.

Visitors must report to the school office on arrival. Enquiries about admissions should be made to the office in term time.

What the locals say

“One of them stopped me outside the bakery with a notebook. For the school paper, she said. I was there ten minutes.”
