JAGS is an academically selective, independent, girls’ day school, educating some 770 girls from Year 7 (11+) to the Sixth Form.   We also have our own prep school, James Allen’s Preparatory School, which educates 300 younger pupils: boys and girls from 4-7 in the Pre-Prep Department and girls from 7-11 in the Middle School. We are distinguished by the very broad social and cultural mix of our pupils, who come from a wide range of backgrounds.  All meet here on the common ground of shared intellectual promise, and all can appreciate each other’s skills, talents and diverse cultures.

We provide a broad and exciting education on a spacious 22-acre campus on the edge of Dulwich.  Our academic record is consistently high, and our pupils shine across a huge number of disciplines, showing excellence in many fields.  Sports, debating, the performing and creative arts, and Community Service are all particularly prized at JAGS.  Our ethos promotes consideration, care and courtesy for others.  Above all, we hope that girls leave JAGS eager and able to make a difference to society.
