Alleyns bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were shown around as a family. 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? - 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 did not prescribe to that view, most did however . Of course, difficult to know at age four where a child will be academically. Obviously not four year olds . Alleyn's if you have the choice. The children that benefit most from a 4-18 school are those in the middle of the range. Everyone's view might be out of date.

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?
