I have 2 DS at WHSB and we live in Billericay. Both of them have school friends who live in Chelmsford and travel on the school buses to Westcliff (SBC bus and consortium buses too I believe). We're very pleased with the school. Westcliff tends to have more OOC boys, so there's possibly more chance of your DS having local friends than if he went to SHSB.

My son is in yr 7 at WHSB. He already attends choir rehearsals there so already felt comfortable with the school layout etc. He isn't particularly sporty, although he has opted to go to some sport clubs which suprised us, he is more academic. When we went to the prospective parents evenings he bumped into a few older children helping out he knew at WHSB which I think gave him some reassurance.

We also have 2 girls so are hoping they will go to WHSG which would make our lives a tad easier.
