I've removed this section;

Other notable members include Alex Shelley, Norman Levy and Keith Shipton. Also there is Luke Withecombe (also known as 'The Body') who is a potential weight lifting champion going in for the 2012 olympics.

Is there some reason why these people are notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tom k&e (talk • contribs) 8 June 2005 (UTC)

I started in the first year of the senior school in 1984, and the 6th form was already coeducational at that point - my sister attended the school herself from 1987-89, so I think the claim that the 6th form went coed in 1994 is well over a decade out.

It certainly is! I remember that the first few girls were admitted to the 6th Form when I was in the 5th Form (1979). The following year (1980) no girls were allowed to join the 6th Form as a parent had objected on the grounds that the school's constitution (?) defined it as a school for boys. The document was revised that year, allowing girls to be admitted to the Lower 6th again the following year (1981, the year I joined the Upper 6th). Therefore the 6th Form has presumably been coeducational continuously since 1981. I'll amend the text. [signed Rick Lewis 22/8/06]

The list of headmasters is wrong - but I have no idea how to get it amended. CG (OE 1950-60)

I think this article should be deleted. Reading through it, it is clear where certain points have been grossly exaggerated and others have been completely made up. Several of their supposed famous old Elthamians were not even living in Greater London at the time they were supposedly going to Eltham. Furthermore, they have not given any sources.

So which bits have been made up then? Please provide examples of which points/former pupils have been made up - given that this page was more than likely created and edited by former pupils and/or staff - perhaps you think you know better? If so, please back up your claims. No reason at all that it should be deleted - there's not really enough subject matter for it to be full of falsehoods, and it all seems to tie in with what I was told about the history of the school during my time there some 20 years ago. 195.26.60.27 17:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. May as well ditch this article. It's nothing more than a vehicle to abuse the headmaster and the school in general. Paul 'B. J.' Henderson is not his real name, I assume, just a reference to fellatio. --81.79.182.89 10:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the picture?

I think an image of the school would be highly informative. There was a picture of the current headmaster Paul B.J. Henderson standing outside the school but it appears to have been removed. Was there some sort of copyright infringement? - SC 28th May 2007

Yes, it was, what is known as, replaceable fair use. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 00:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is that his real name, anyway? --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 19:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

lol no, it aint his name --81.154.219.31 (talk) 23:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
