TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol. - 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. Hello All. I did not prescribe to that view, most did however . I know many private schools have changed radically over last 5-15 years. Go for viewings and make your own decisions. 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. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). They were known as jags slags . Jagz ascot? Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. 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.

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. Alleyn's if you have the choice. 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? JAGs has 35 places at 4+ and Alleyns has 9 for girls at 4+. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11?

Don't forget the logistical factors - where do you live in relation to each school? U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. How long does it take to get there? On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. What is the public transport like? Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? 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). Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. ), 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.
