But maybe thats just one persons opinion. U know you're more Stuckey than Edward Lewis, right? They did like to enjoy themselves. I know Jags and Alleyns do prepare for the 11+ for some extent but I thought part of the appeal was that they dont have to focus on it quite so much as the children either have a guaranteed place (Alleyns) or just need to pass the exam (Jags) rather than coming in the top tranche?
