Jags - we liked the new head. very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) - 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. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. Alleyn's if you have the choice. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables).

There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. 02/02/2020 14:10.

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? 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. Think JC went to Dulwich and Nigel Farridge stole his tuck shop loot.
