Warwick School, Whitgift School and Christ's Hospital have offered a Yr 9 place to my DS; whereas, Lancing College and Bishop's Stortford College will release result shortly. As we are living abroad, we have never visited these schools (except their websites). Grateful if anyone could tell me how the local people consider these schools. Thanks.

Whitgift isn't full boarding - it is a day school with a half dozen overseas students who live in a house on site. There is a new boarding house being built, due to open in September, so your son would be one of the first boarders. Probably high risk if you are overseas to be honest. The majority of the Whitgift intake arrive at 10 or 11. If you want a full boarding option then I would look at a school where the majority of pupils board.
