I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. 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. - 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. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Any reviews? (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.) To verify your identity, please type what you see in the box above. Alleyn's if you have the choice. Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Everyone's view might be out of date. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. Thank you.

To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. 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. 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. Obviously not four year olds . 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. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. I also have a preference for co-ed. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? They were known as jags slags . jags gets more into oxbridge.

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. Jagz ascot? How long does it take to get there? 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. U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. probably comparable on other stuff. Find out more. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . Jags - we liked the new head. Fun. 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? very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) 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 like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns.

They did like to enjoy themselves. I attended a school very near there . But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? More details here. Or have children there? 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 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 open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol.
