(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. From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. They don't need to be. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.) Jagz ascot? very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? Dont miss your best career move. Find out more. 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. 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). Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically.

There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. More details here. probably comparable on other stuff. Jags - we liked the new head. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. So we revisited. Poor old Ebitda couldn't even get to first base with the Jags gals Live nearby. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. - 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 many private schools have changed radically over last 5-15 years. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Or have children there? Obviously not four year olds . ), 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. 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. How long does it take to get there? Fun. 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 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. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. 02/02/2020 14:10. I attended a school very near there . Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. 13/11/2019 14:06. They did like to enjoy themselves. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. Thank you.

Go for viewings and make your own decisions. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. 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. Alleyn's if you have the choice. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). 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 gets more into oxbridge. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. Some do, some don't. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. They were known as jags slags . On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. To verify your identity, please type what you see in the box above. I also have a preference for co-ed. Any reviews?

JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. 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. 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? U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? Hello All. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. 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?
