Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. Some do, some don't. See as more exclusive. Neither. (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. They did like to enjoy themselves. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. 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. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. 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.

Thank you. So we revisited. 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 open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. 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. Any reviews? 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 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?

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. The single sex point noted by Heffalump is the most obvious one. Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? Hello All. - 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. U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters.

I attended a school very near there . Dont miss your best career move. But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. 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). The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. 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?
