Article is long enough and new enough. I am struggling to find Joan Campbell – the doctor and former head girl who organised a reunion of nearly 100 pupils in 1998 in #1. Hook is interesting and supported by the source although I think that "progressive" in the article should be references. AGFing on some Google Books things as they don't work for me. Hook looks reasonably interesting. Are there no opinions on the school's performance? The drop-random-sentences-into-Google test yields no indication of copyvio and plagiarism and the source-text comparison didn't yield anything either. Image seems fine licence and use-wise. QPQ is good. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thanks for the review. Joan Campbell was in one of the other sources so I've fixed the citation. I have added a source to cite the school's progressive nature and this also adds some details about the size of the enrollment and the split between day/boarding. The only opinions I have come across are those of the former pupils and that's why I provided a selection of quotes to give the reader some idea what they thought of it. Nowadays there is an Independent Schools Inspectorate but they were founded in 1999 and its predecessors followed the Education Act of 1944 so they are all too new to have an opinion on this school. I will be continuing to work on the topic though and so will add anything more that I find. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:02, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
