Am I the only one here? I am seriously looking for someone around Romford area who is also going to Brentwood School. Would really appreciate this!

I would ask the school for contact details. I have done so in the past and most schools are usually quite accommodating.

Sounds pretty iffy to me - think they would be in big trouble if 'found out'.
But you could ask them to pass your details to anyone in the same locality?
Asume they will have an induction day next term - get your DC to swop contact details with other boys in his year/class?

They asked the person first if they would be willing to be a contact and in some cases my details were handed over and they chose to call me or after they had agreed they gave out their details.
Many schools also have a parent directory with all contact details and you can opt out.

Mojoko,
Have you asked this question on the Essex part of the forum ?There were a few posters aiming for Brentwood school.
