Jack & Jill School Twickenham

[Rockylady]

Does anyone have a child here and would be able to explain how it works now that they have an upper primary school? Are they still strong for 7+ or less focused than before? How good is the upper school? although still to be seen as first cohort taking 11+ exams this January. Any insight on how the school has changed in this respect, now that it goes to 11 very grateful to know.

@Rockylady Jack & Jill is a superb school. We were unlucky that we moved from the area just before DD started reception. However having visited & studied a number of schools in the area I found it to be very different & excellent in its approach. It's prep years were very impressive & we were inclined to think that we would stay until year 6. However I think a large number do leave at year 2 especially those aiming for LEH. Sorry I don't have personal experience but wish you good luck.

Yes the school pushes the girls hard. If you speak to some parents, they will say too hard. The vast majority get into LEH, some choose to stay on, most accept LEH.

Thank you both. Sayuri70, do you think the focus on prep for LEH has changed since they offer staying till Y6? I would not want to put a girl through too much if they are not ready or not for them, but I would like to know if they have lost a bit their edge with 7+ given the changes.
