At Alleyn's Junior School we aim to inspire, educate and protect our children. We help them to learn, grow and thrive on their journey to reach their full potential inside and outside of the classroom. We look for boys and girls, from all backgrounds, who will respond to the School's opportunities and values, and contribute with their talents and enthusiasm.
Open Days and Tours Occasional Vacancies
Alleyn's Junior School pupils have automatic entry to the Senior School but they still sit the scholarship/entrance exam and are interviewed with all other candidates. Usually, Junior School pupils are expected to make up one third of the Senior School's Year 7 intake.
The next Alleyn's Junior School Open Events will be held on Tuesday 17 March and Wednesday 20 May from 1.15pm to 3pm (Head's talk at 1.30pm). You will have the opportunity to listen to a Head's Talk and then have a tour of the school with a pupil. Please return here in the new year to reserve a space.
We would be delighted to see you at one of our Open Events and hope to meet you and your family soon.
