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. Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. (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. 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). I live locally and I don't think Alleyns is perceived to be much better at all. 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. Got well pissed up there with a niece a few years back. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. Any reviews?

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?
