We are trying to decide between offers for Alleyns and a few all -girls schools for our Dd.
Does anyone have a child currently at Alleyns and any experience of how the relationships between the girls and boys are? We have just watched a channel 4 drama called Consent and it’s shocked us into thinking that perhaps we are very naive about teenage behaviour and we should be choosing one of the single- sex schools on offer.

My DD1 left Alleyn's last summer post A levels. I can honestly say she had the NICEST group of friends, boys and girls. We never had any concerns or picked up any issues around this. You could consider the risks of potential girl gang/bitchy/cliquey behaviour in an all girls environment as well. I wouldn't really worry about either but your call!
