(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. However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. 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? Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through.

Thank you. What is the public transport like? 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. 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 - we liked the new head. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? Some do, some don't.

There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. 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. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Never quite felt that way across the road.

On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming.
