Thank you. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. Dont miss your best career move. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.) 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? While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. I know many private schools have changed radically over last 5-15 years. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. 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). I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). Jags - we liked the new head. They were known as jags slags . Poor old Ebitda couldn't even get to first base with the Jags gals Live nearby. Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding 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? There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. I also have a preference for co-ed. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Neither. 13/11/2019 14:06. 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. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. Fun. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. They did like to enjoy themselves. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. To verify your identity, please type what you see in the box above. 02/02/2020 14:10. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). See as more exclusive. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. 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. Jagz ascot? Never quite felt that way across the road. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. jags gets more into oxbridge. 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. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? 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. 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. Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot. Any reviews? Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. So we revisited. Obviously not four year olds . From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. (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. Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? I attended a school very near 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?

There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. Hello All. Everyone's view might be out of date. 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. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. Alleyn's if you have the choice. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. How long does it take to get there? What is the public transport like? probably comparable on other stuff. ), 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.
