The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. - 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. ), 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. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it.

Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. They were known as jags slags . See as more exclusive. (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.) I also have a preference for co-ed. Never quite felt that way across the road. 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). Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). More details here. Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. Fun. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). 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.

The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Thank you. But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? 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. Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. I attended a school very near there . However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. 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. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. 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?

Jags - we liked the new head. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Hello All. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. Alleyn's if you have the choice. There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. 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. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. Dont miss your best career move. Everyone's view might be out of date. 02/02/2020 14:10. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. How long does it take to get there? Or have children there? So we revisited. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range.

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? probably comparable on other stuff. 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.
