I don't thing it's a good idea, cause it is totally different thing, isn't it? ---Mzalewski 19:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No good

The efforts of 139.133.7.37 are little short of vandalism.

1973

The text says " up until 2004 it was an all boys school". Some girls appeared in about 1973. 194.73.96.226 10:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)CCH.[reply]

William Rees-Mogg

Rees-Mogg did not attend Downside, he attended Charterhouse. Two of his children did attend Downside, not Jacob though, and his wife is one of the school's governors (as per http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/william_rees_mogg/article1368829.ece). O'Donoghue 11:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nor did Christopher Butler (onetime abbot of Downside) attend the school. He was a convert, and had been an Anglican clergyman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.179.37.3 (talk) 19:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uniform

Originally, there was no uniform at Downside. In about 1911, the current one

was introduced. It is very similar to those in Eton and Harrow. All three are

black and white. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.253.153 (talk) 16:55, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the uniform at Harrow school is purely black and white on Sundays.

On week-days, a blue element appears. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.4.21 (talk) 08:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location

Its precise location (Stratton-on-the-Fosse) lies between Norton Radstock and Shepton Mallet. Bath is some 11 miles away and the only relevance with Bath is that the school lies along the A367 which links Bath with the A37 near Shepton. The nearest important city is Bristol (only slightly farther than Bath) whilst the nearest actual towns are those I mentioned. Evlekis (talk) 06:28, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the lead as you suggested.— Rod ^talk 11:04, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I sit editing from Cabin 24 in Downside School, Rod, may I just say - excellent! Thanks. Evlekis (talk) 20:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
