Hello All. Fun. 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? 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. I went to Alleyns, though not the junior school.
