⚠️ Important: Catchment Measuring Points Vary

Some schools measure from the school gates, others from the main entrance, a specific published measuring point, or the centre of the school building. Always check Southend High School for Boys's published admissions policy or contact Southend-on-Sea Council directly to confirm the exact measuring point before relying on any distance calculation.
