Glad to see its not the predominant view on here. as better by other schools/universities if want to move on (despite league tables). Have your daughter attend the pre-selection morning, and how quick did you get the response? I am aware of colleagues of mine that have had the latter occur (not at JAGS or Alleyn's but comparable London/Surrey indies). TLT is seeking a conveyancing technical support officer in Bristol.

Chances of bursaries / scholarships at 11? (at least till they reach puberty and one would hope they have educational incentive enough by then.) so all girls schools are good if you can afford.
