Alleyns - wasn't so sold on the head but the new Lower school building and the great sports provision had impressed us. 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? jags gets more into oxbridge.

There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. 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? very tough to get in too so PERCEIVED (she says in reality both are great!) Obviously not four year olds . 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.
