Sending your child to a junior that is connected with a senior school gives a certain level of certainty that they will go straight through into the senior school. On balance, I'd go for Alleyn's because I prefer the co-ed aspect. However, there are a couple of factors to consider: - The academically strong child would get into the senior school in any case.
