Does anyone have any feedback regarding WHSG? Does it count as a "super selective"?

WHSG fills almost half it's places purely on score regardless of where you live. It then offers the rest of it's places based on score for those in certain categories (pupil premium or catchment area). So it's generally considered 'superselective' because your score is more important than the distance you live, but the catchment area means it is not completely superselective.

It's a popular school but I don't know it myself to comment.

Yes, I would say its superselective. Along with Nonsuch and Tiffin Girls.

Dd1 got offered a place there for Year 7, but our plans to move close to the school had changed, so we had to decline the place. She really loved it when she visited.

I live in the area on average 1 child from each class goes to Wallington girls at my DC's school ( similar for the boys) so I'd say yes.
