Relative taught at one and relatives pupils at both. (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.) How long does it take to get there? - 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. I like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. Never quite felt that way across the road. I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. Fun. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? Jags - we liked the new head. 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 open day we went to was great and the girls we met were lovely. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). I attended a school very near there .
