Hi Jo
Glad you received the information & it was of help to you. Just to wish you & your daughter good luck & all the best in the coming months. If you need any more information etc regarding the 11+ or school just drop me a line.
One thing I would recommend is when you submit your application for the schools do it on line as everyone who did this year, received their results a day earlier. I work in IT & was torn between should we or shouldn't we apply on line as this was the first year you were able to register this way.
My friend was able to view which school had been allocated on the 1st of March, where as we had to wait for the postman to arrive the next day, which wasn't until 10:30. We found this one of the most stressfull parts as we had to let our daughter go to school not knowing, and was told not to open it until she came home for dinners.
Best regards
Jacqui

Hi
No our cheque hasn't been cleared yet. I had got to the point where I was wondering if a signed the cheque prior to sending it & maybe they were waiting for induction day to let me know. WHSG idd ring me as I had forgotton to include a copy of our daughters birth certificate so I keep thinking they would have probably said something then.
Glad to know someone else is in the same boat.

I know that there have been no new posts on this thread for a while, but here we are again at results time and I would be grateful to hear how your daughters fared in September.
My daughter has just been offered WHSG and as we live well out of catchment I know that she will be asking lots of questions over the next few days/weeks about the journey and a host of other things!
All help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I too would love info and help re WHSG. We got the prospectus out again last night and went through it with a fine tooth comb and tried to remember all the details of the open evening. It's hard when it's so long ago!
Feedback from parents about how their children have settled at WHSG, how much homework they get, opportunities for trips in year 7 etc. would be gratefully received.
Chardan - thanks for your PM last night - hope you got my reply?

Hi Joanne
Thanks for your reply. How is your daughter enjoying Westcliff so far?
Mine has confessed tonight that she is very worried about leaving her small little church school and her friends to move on to a school with 1000 children. Are Westcliff good at making the new girls welcome and helping them to settle in?
Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi DiW
It sounds like your daughter is in the same boat as my daughter was last year, my daughter came from a small church school, and didnt know anyone, and had to get a bus at 7am to get to WHSG, but has loved every minute, and made some lovely friends since she started in September, I couldn't ask for a happier child, she has enjoyed every minute! I really hope your daughter enjoys it as much as mine. Good luck for September x
Joanne
P.S My daughter is happy to answer any questions that your daughter may have! Just PM me.

Starting In September
My DD will be starting at WHSG in September. 
! Another friend from her state primary class will also be starting at the same time, along with another friend from Guides.
We live in the Billericay area and would love to meet up with any others from the same area, so that we can have a few more friends before September!
If you are in the area, please PM me and we can perhaps arrange something?
