Hi, any thoughts from mums out there on the pros and cons of JC or JESS Ranches? I know both are good schools and am not worrying about the location, I would just be interested if anyone has any issues with either? Obviously JESS leads to IB and JC A Levels so have to take that into account but as new would like as much info as possible prior to making decision (year 7), both seem very good! Thanks.

Senior schools do tend to be lacking over here generally.

I have friends that have worked at both schools as teachers and they chose to send their son to JC. They said that all though JESS AR primary is good, senior school not so great. They feel the level of teachers and teaching is better at JC. When their son got to year 7 they changed him from JESS AR to JC. <em>edited by AdviceSeeker on 24/03/2011</em>
