Advice needed regarding dulwich independant schools

Recommended Posts

I need some advice please regarding my 4 year old daughter who is currently at Rosemead nursery. She has also been offered reception places this year for st dunstans, sydenham high and herne hill. We live in dulwich and we really like japs and alleyns but it appears very difficult to gain entry to both these schools and we are not sure which of the above schools may prepare her later on for their assessments. Has anyone had experience with these schools and entry then later on to either jags or alleyns? Have you got any recommendations please?


She is well settled at rosemead however if necessary we would rather get her in the right school now than later on.

Many thanks for any advice or recommendations.

Hi


My daughter used to go to herne hill School and we loved it. Great teachers and a lovely atmosphere. After kindergarten we decided to apply for JAPS an alleyns and was offered JAPS. Very happy with the school, it is a Competitive school but our daughter is excelling and we are happy.


Herne hill school is great but only goes to 7

By Sydenham High do you mean the independent girls' school? If so, this goes up to 18 so you wouldn't have to worry about entrance exams for other independents at 7, 11 or 13. Or do you prefer JAGS/Alleyn's to Sydenham?

Hi SE22newmum,


HH appears to be a great school, we loved it when we visited and was offered a place. We were very tempted but the school run eventually put me off. Apart from the traffic, parking is very difficult. I have a close friend who has two boys there and she hates the school run, it drives her crazy every day.


In terms of preparing children for the 7+ assessment they are excellent and give good advice on the school they feel appropriate for your child. It does seem to be an academic school but then this is necessary to get kids into the next level of school at 7.

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
