However, still considering JAGS as apparently its supposed to be academically much better than Alleyns. - 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.

I attended a school very near there . Or have children there?

On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. But maybe thats just one persons opinion. Do you also know if the tests are adaptive? Id want my daughter to speak up even if there are boys present instead of flourishing only in an all girls environment. Obviously not four year olds . See as more exclusive. Any reviews?

Alleyn's from recollection is maybe better known, I recall good results in league tables. 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? as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables).
