Fun. So we revisited. See as more exclusive. ), 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. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. Everyone's view might be out of date. Jagz ascot? Alleyn's if you have the choice. I attended a school very near there . I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. They were known as jags slags . The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. - 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. Obviously not four year olds . I also have a preference for co-ed. 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. Send her to a state primary, then a decent rural boarding school. Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? Mumsnet carries some affiliate marketing links, so if you buy something through our posts, we may get a small share of the sale (more details here), lots of focus on being well rounded, confident and self assured, children are instilled with independence and leadership qualities early on, academic but also focuses on other aspects such as presenting well, wit and social spark (her words! Go for viewings and make your own decisions. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. Never quite felt that way across the road. I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? Hello All. Any reviews? There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. Neither. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. 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). Find adults who went to JAGS v insular and cliquey cf Alleyn's. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. (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. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. More details here. The question really is whether to roll up in a Rivian or Lucid. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. They don't need to be. While Alleyns is theoretically more selective JAGs outperforms Alleyns academically most years though there isn't much in it. Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. Poor old Ebitda couldn't even get to first base with the Jags gals Live nearby. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). 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. 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. Or have children there? But there must be some roffers/fettes who went to one of them? 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). Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot. jags gets more into oxbridge. 13/11/2019 14:06. Find out more. 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? U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? What is the public transport like? How long does it take to get there? The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. Dont miss your best career move. 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. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside 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? I went to Alleyns, though not the junior 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. From what I understand the intake to the secondary school is predominantly via the junior school. The open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. 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? Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. 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. probably comparable on other stuff. 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. They did like to enjoy themselves. Jags - we liked the new head.
