Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. What is the public transport like? Dont miss your best career move. There is a senior exec teacher I know personally at JAGS who I would never want to teach my daughters. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? probably comparable on other stuff. It is proven by studies that girls do better in single sex schools. I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies).

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?

Ontier is looking for a paralegal to join its litigation team in London. 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). ), 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.

Hello All. To comment on this thread you need to create a Mumsnet account. How long does it take to get there? 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.

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? I think the ebitda bot may need reprogramming. 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.

Jagz ascot? Thank you. Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? 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?
