Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. 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 like JAGS but wouldnt send my child to a single sex school so Alleyns. 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. Single sex schools tend to be a bit more diverse as some minorities prefer not to have their daughters taught alongside boys. (You mentioned a girl, so not getting into the 13+ issue re boys.)

Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. I also have a preference for co-ed. ), 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. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Question to the OP: Are you looking to send your child to school at 4 so they can go straight through to 18 or would you be thinking about a move at 11? How long does it take to get there? I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school. More details here. They were known as jags slags . There are some really helpful comments up there, so thank you.
