There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. Jagz ascot? Neither. From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. Hello All. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? Everyone's view might be out of date. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? I attended a school very near there . While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. How long does it take to get there?

Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? I also have a preference for co-ed. 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). Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. Jags - we liked the new head. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. 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 went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. Alleyn's if you have the choice. 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. 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? The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. Find out more. Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. I know many private schools have changed radically over last 5-15 years. There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. They don't need to be. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. They did like to enjoy themselves. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Or have children there? 02/02/2020 14:10. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . Obviously not four year olds . Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. - 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. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago.

More details here. 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? Never quite felt that way across the road. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. 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. 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. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Some do, some don't.

Thank you. probably comparable on other stuff. 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. They were known as jags slags . 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? jags gets more into oxbridge. 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. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us.
