Update and Cleanup
[edit]This article has several issues. Apart from not having received any significant attention for a very long time (2007), it has been constantly subjected to vandalism. It needs:
- Updating to take into account the changes that were to take place in 2007.
- Restructuring
- Rewriting into encyclopedic tone.
- Article and talk page protection.

Talk Page vandalism
[edit]I'm restoring this page as best I can from its creation:
- Cleanup?
I can understand fully that perhaps the article was a tad rambly. However, as Worcester was once the premier, elite of its kind in the UK, surely it deserves to have a far longer article? Especially considering that its a boarding school - surely some of the accomdoation should be discussed?
- further info on seperation?
I think it might be useful to elucidate further on why exactly NCW split from RNIB, as this is a key moment in NCWs' history, and as the article notes, was somewhat drawn out and controversial. It would give the reader further insight knowing exactly why this is so, as currently it only briefly mentions what is a relatively important point.Wheelzsc (talk | contribs) [welcome]
- I have attempted to add some information on NCW's split from the RNIB - but really need information to do this --Blindtimelord 17:37, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- Removal of information?
Someone has removed large portions of this article - namely in the RNIB split section and trivia, plus the school motto, which if I can recall from offical school records was 'they can because they think they can'... or has New College changed that also? --Blindtimelord

Her removals are making a biased article. This article, like all encyclopedic articles, should should not only the bad sides, but the possitives too. Furthermore, staff at NCW have informed me of the RNIB issues. They should remain, otherwise why should there be a section on the 'Split with the RNIB'? --Blindtimelord 20:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

- EDIT
There's one very very big issue in that "as a student" we are not allowed to express our points about the school or is it college no wait.. 6th Form?, The public only see the brightside of the Compound and they don't see the real life s*it that happens and its not right.

Although this is supposed to be for constrctive comments for the article. This person does make a valuable point about NCW. Although it should be pointed out that that is exactly what all schools do.

Wheelzsc (talk | contribs): ▪ In response to the 'EDIT' comments: I think that any substantiated, valid criticism of NCW ought to be expressed, as most encyclopedic articles on various schools/colleges/institutions include comments on various criticisms, as a means of explaining the overall reputation of the particular place, along with the 'positive' aspects. After all, without such comments, articles would cease to give 'rounded' views and would become pseudo-advertisements. However, these 'negative' aspects ought not be framed in purely subjective terms, eg. 'the courses offered are of a poor standard'. They should, rather, be objectively verifiable, and only communicate said negativity by implication. --Wheelzsc 07:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
