Assuming your looking for a 4-18 straight through, it's worth thinking about senior school differences between JAGS and Alleyn's. Where the senior school is highly academic (definitely JAGS, to a slightly lesser extent Alleyn's) the parents of a quite academically weak child will generally have it "suggested" to them to move their child at 11 or earlier. The same 100 girls that apply to Alleyns apply to JAGs. Anecdotally, based on the girls I knew at JAGS, it was really really academically pressured, all the way through. The one thats further from the toxic cesspool that is Dulwich College. the head at JAGS was an excellent teacher - she taught chemistry at my old school and everyone (even those who struggled) went up two grades. she was the selling point of the school at the time tho she did have favourites, https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/primary/3807861-Jags-or-Alleyns-junior-sch, so far as I am aware they are both very good schools and I'm sure she'll be fine at either, probably really depends on whether you want her at a single sex school or not.
