Choice between Alleyn's Infants & Juniors and Dulwich College (DUCKS)

[Katecatherine]

Should DS have a choice between these two schools, which would you choose and why? I would be really interested to hear from other parents with children at either or both schools.

I cannot find too many differences between them and we have no strong feelings on co-ed or single sex yet. DS is only 3 and it's difficult to say which he would thrive in.

I would choose Alleyns simply because then the decision is made and there's no further exam at 8 (or indeed 11 if you wanted).

Alleyns places are very hard to get though - very competitive to gt into the junior school....
