We have been thinking about this question lately, and when I typed ?are priv? and google guessed that I was going to type ?are private schools worth it?


We are talking about ?7000 a term for a day school, 3 times a year, plus all the extras. This is much more expensive than what I expected, as I went to a boarding school myself many years ago and at that time it was around ?4000 per term and that includes accommodation and meals. It?s scary how it?s increased over the years!


Would love to hear people?s views on Alleyn?s and Dulwich College Junior School. What are their class sizes and do your children / your friends? children like it there?


I also know that it?s difficult to get a place. Anyone has any idea how many people do they take at the various entry points 7+ / 9+ / 11+ / 13+? (Already missed the boat for the 4+ entry...) Which intake is relatively less competitive?


Many thanks in advance.

    • is anyone getting rid of one or something similar?   thanks 
    • ?????? I have read through this thread and I am totally bemused. It had previously seemed to be a helpful thread, and I  don't want to send it any more off topic by responding to the last two posts by other forum members. Could someone (or admin) please PM me if they think I have stepped out of line and explain why, as recent comments seem to be directed at me and have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. This is a forum, and as in real life people are all  different, with different personalities and sensitivities, and react in different ways,  but the direction this thread has taken is very disappointing. ETA: If the two previous posters want to discuss the points they have made which aren't relevant to the subject of this thread, perhaps one or both of them could start a new thread or threads in the lounge? But probably this thread has come to an end  anyway. Thank you to the other posters for your useful information.
    • Please lmk if you have one for sale. Thanks 
    • I totally agree with jazzer having been “jumped on” by various members.. I try and help as that is the sort of person I am, but now will try hard  to just read and not reply.. was down right hurtful to have a comment made along the lines that as I was no longer as person supposed, in ED and moved somewhere else should just leave group. No longer sure what sort of people are on this group - certainly not as pleasant as it was 15 years  ago when people were pleasant, helpful and some things were a joke and much more  light hearted. Everyone has a right to their own opinion as it is a public forum- meaning anyone can join from where-ever but c maybe I have got that wrong as well / doesn’t matter as I will probably leave…
