Merge with Hamilton Grammar School?[edit]

It seems like this article should be merged into the article on Hamilton Grammar School, and "Hamilton Academy" made to redirect to this Hamilton Grammar School article. They cover different eras of the same institution, but the articles seem to overlap substantially. -Agyle 09:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the same institution. The change merely lowered its standards. Don't confuse it with the original. Robert Adam, Deep River Ontario. Former pupil 1936-1940

Hamilton Academy was a county-wide institution that drew its pupils from all over Lanarkshire and was an elitist institution, with all the good and bad that that entails. As a former pupil I do not recognise Hamilton Grammar as a school I ever went to - it was in any case (I believe)created out of a merger of the Hamilton Academy with another nearby secondary school so there is not one-one mapping between the two institutions in any case. Iain Smith London pupil 1964-1969.

Absurd suggestion - the two institutions are unconnected. Hamilton Grammar was/is an unsuccessful merger of apples and oranges! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.105.90.73 (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As one of the last intake of pupils to Hamilton Academy, and who by time of leaving had experienced the 'change-over' I agree that this article should not be merged with that of Hamilton Grammar school. The schools are quite unalike. Fundamentally unalike. Whether Hamilton Grammar becomes in time an 'institution' or not, Hamilton Academy decidedly was (Westerdundrun (talk) 02:01, 5 August 2010 (UTC))[reply]

So what happened? "Ceased to exist as an independent institution" isn't enough. Did it merge with something else? If so, with what? Was it closed with no link at all, and pupils all had to find some other school to go to? If so, what had gone wrong? Did the buildings fall down overnight? If not, what took them over? A bit of the story is missing here, surely. Andrew Dalby 12:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
