Coeducational

[edit]

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]

Where's the picture?

[edit]

I think an image of the school would be highly informative. There was a picture of the previous headmaster Paul 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]

Changing the subject slightly, are there any open source images of the full school crest on the internet? There's a version on Google Images, but I'm not sure if it's open source —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.244.147 (talk) 21:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notable former pupils

[edit]

I have deleted all the non-notable people listed below (ie: those without separate articles). Some of these may well be notable, but nobody's got round to writing their article yet - hence keeping their details here.... Paul W (talk) 19:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
