Hi All. Can you recommend which school would you consider as Priority 1 in CAF - Southend High School for Girls or Westcliff High School for Girls?

It all depends on a lot of factors- sibling location, distance, pastoral support etc. Historic results depend on the cohorts. Am OOC and will go for WHSG although SHSG is by miles a more beautiful school.

Which school do you and your DD actually prefer, based on your visit(s) to each? Did your DD sit the exam with one particular school in mind, but now is unsure which to opt for? She's the one who is going to spend several hours a day at the school.

Where do you live? How would your DD travel to school? What travel options are open to you that would give your DD the ability to take full advantage of all extracurricular opportunities available to her?

I don't know about WHSG, as DD only joined a
in year 12 and has not been on any trips abroad, but for several trips when she was at SHSG, the coach left school between 3 and 4am. Return times sometimes being similarly 'unsocial'. How would you cope with that, if home is a long way off?
