JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. 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? - 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. 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? I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. I also have a preference for co-ed. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. They don't need to be. Obviously not four year olds . More details here. 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? 02/02/2020 14:10. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. I attended a school very near there . Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. 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. They were known as jags slags . Some do, some don't. 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. ), 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. (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. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? 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. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. 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.

Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. probably comparable on other stuff. What is the public transport like? Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot. 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.

They did like to enjoy themselves. 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). 13/11/2019 14:06.
