James Allen's Girls' School

We are delighted to rank highly in The Telegraph best value private schools this week.

“For many parents, the value of independent schools goes beyond academic achievements; they want a well-rounded experience for their children, including opportunities in sport, performing arts and music.

This is why a school like James Allen’s Girls’ School in London, which has an excellent pedigree, is able to perform well in the league table. The school has nine of the 11 facilities accounted for in The Telegraph’s score.”

We are thrilled to have been commended in the Independent Girls’ School of the Year category at the Independent School of the Year Awards 2026 🎉

For nearly 300 years, JAGS has been proud to put girls first, championing an education that empowers young women to thrive, lead and make a difference. At a time when this work remains as important as ever, we’re proud to continue supporting girls to find their voice and shape the world around them.

A huge thank you to our students, staff, families and wider community whose hard work, dedication and contributions are recognised with this commendation.

What a year! 🎉

There is rarely a dull moment at JAGS - from performances and productions to trips, clubs, competitions and the everyday moments that make our school so special.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year so memorable. Wishing you all a relaxing, sunny and well-deserved summer break! ☀️

Founder’s Day 2026 was truly one to remember!

It was brilliant to see so many members of the JAGS community come together in celebration of a wonderful year.

Thank you so much to our students, staff and families for making it such a special day!

And as ever, a huge thank you to our Parents’ Associations for their ongoing support of our bursary fund which makes a difference to the lives of so many students.

A huge thank you to our Charity Club for inspiring creativity and community spirit through their bracket-making fundraiser for The Evie Dove Foundation 🎉

It’s always a delight when the whole of JAGS, from Reception to Year 12, come together for our annual Founder’s Assembly. As well as our Founder’s Prayer, we enjoyed music from across the school and also learnt what the expected bedtimes for JAGS pupils were 101 years ago!

We look forward to welcoming all our students and their families to our Founder’s Day celebrations tomorrow.

Tonight’s the night for our Summer Jazz Concert. Rehearsals sounding great this afternoon. Looking forward to welcome parents and families along to the (air conditioned) Vaughan Williams Auditorium.

Our House mantra is to ‘Celebrate Every Individual’ recognising the wide range of interests in our student body. This year for the first time we launched a Botanic Art competition for all years. And we were blown away by the entries across the Senior School showing originality and keen observational skills.

Take a look at some of the winning entries from Year 7 - Year 12.

The Pop Up exhibition proved a brilliant shower for our talented Year 12 artists.

It has been amazing to watch their ideas grow and their visions come to life ✨

What a day! Sports Day 2026 delivered the sunshine, smiles and incredible team spirit.

So proud of all our students - amazing performances and some unforeseen sporting moments 🏃‍♀️
