Where ambition has no glass ceiling
For nearly 300 years, James Allen’s Girls’ School (JAGS) has been a pioneering force in girls’ education, empowering generations of students to thrive through a forward-thinking approach to learning, opportunity and access. While renowned as London’s oldest independent girls’ school, JAGS continues to look firmly to the future. What began in 1741 in the back room of a Dulwich pub has grown into one of the country’s leading schools, while remaining true to James Allen’s original mission to challenge inequality and expand opportunity. The enduring value of outstanding girls’ schools remains clear The decision to educate girls was a radical one in its day; three centuries later, that spirit continues to shape the school.
