Receive approaches from top law firms and in-house employers when they want someone just like you. 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? They were known as jags slags . See as more exclusive. What is the public transport like? The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range.

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.

However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case. Find out more. Ive heard all the arguments in favour of single sex but still think co-ed is better as thats how it is in the grown up world. - 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. Neither. 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?

Or have children there? So we revisited. Fun. for what its worth I had a great time there but it was a long time ago. 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).
