probably comparable on other stuff. Might the reason for children not getting into the other school in year 6 be that they are not doing as much preparation, or indeed not being prepared by the school as intensely for the 11+ compared to a prep school, as they already have a place at their existing school? I also have a preference for co-ed. They did like to enjoy themselves. very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. Thank you. From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. - The junior school that is connected with a senior school will not be as good as prep schools at preparing children for getting entrance at 11+ to different senior schools. Where the senior school is highly academic (definitely JAGS, to a slightly lesser extent Alleyn's) the parents of a quite academically weak child will generally have it "suggested" to them to move their child at 11 or earlier. While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. The consequence is that if you are looking for your child to move at 11+ you may find you have to do a lot of work with them outside of school for them to be competitive, compared with say sending them to Thomas's or similar pre-prep and prep. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Hello All. I know Jags and Alleyns do prepare for the 11+ for some extent but I thought part of the appeal was that they dont have to focus on it quite so much as the children either have a guaranteed place (Alleyns) or just need to pass the exam (Jags) rather than coming in the top tranche? Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Sending your child to a junior that is connected with a senior school gives a certain level of certainty that they will go straight through into the senior school. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. To verify your identity, please type what you see in the box above. U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right?
