Question to the OP: Are you looking to send your child to school at 4 so they can go straight through to 18 or would you be thinking about a move at 11? I attended a school very near there . 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. Alleyn's if you have the choice. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. (at least till they reach puberty and one would hope they have educational incentive enough by then.) so all girls schools are good if you can afford. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. 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.

Ive heard all the arguments in favour of single sex but still think co-ed is better as thats how it is in the grown up world. While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. equally focussed on academics but less so on all the extra curricular activities (in comparison) but still very good, less focused on confidence/leadership qualities although excellent at instilling in girls that its ok to fail; important to keep trying etc, some facilities are not ideal (ie language classes etc done in temporary outside buildings etc).

Thank you. she was the selling point of the school at the time tho she did have favourites, https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/primary/3807861-Jags-or-Alleyns-junior-sch, so far as I am aware they are both very good schools and I'm sure she'll be fine at either, probably really depends on whether you want her at a single sex school or not. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. See as more exclusive. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. Never quite felt that way across the road. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. ), facilities are amazing (for both junior and secondary) and equal focus on academia as sport/art/performance, high end lunch provision and after school clubs. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? 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? But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Or have children there? More details here. Find out more. So we revisited. What is the public transport like? - 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.

Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. How long does it take to get there? On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . Neither. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. 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? Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back.
