Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. 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). ), 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 same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. 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. I know many private schools have changed radically over last 5-15 years. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. Mumsnet carries some affiliate marketing links, so if you buy something through our posts, we may get a small share of the sale (more details here), lots of focus on being well rounded, confident and self assured, children are instilled with independence and leadership qualities early on, academic but also focuses on other aspects such as presenting well, wit and social spark (her words! 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? Hello All. See as more exclusive. (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. Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. Any reviews? Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back.

Poor old Ebitda couldn't even get to first base with the Jags gals Live nearby. There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? Never quite felt that way across the road. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. So we revisited. Jags - we liked the new head. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. Jagz ascot? 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? as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. Neither. Thank you. The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. More details here. 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? - 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. probably comparable on other stuff. jags gets more into oxbridge. 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. Alleyn's if you have the choice. Or have children there? On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. Dont miss your best career move. the head at JAGS was an excellent teacher - she taught chemistry at my old school and everyone (even those who struggled) went up two grades. Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. 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. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. Find out more. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). I also have a preference for co-ed. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. They did like to enjoy themselves. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. Fun. They don't need to be. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . 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. Obviously not four year olds . They were known as jags slags . But maybe thats just one persons opinion. While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. What is the public transport like? 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.
