This paragraph "In 1960 there were 100 boarders. The boarders were separated into two houses; ‘The Grange’ accommodating the girls and ‘The Lodge’ the boys. After a long-running tradition of being an all-boys school, girls were first admitted in 1982. As of September 2020, the school no longer ran their boarding facilities." Makes no sense as in 1960 there weren't any female Manwoodians.

Maybe

In 1960 there were 100 boarders. The boarders were separated into two houses; ‘The Grange' and ‘The Lodge’. After a long-running tradition of being an all-boys school, girls were first admitted in 1982 with girl boarders accommodated in the Grange and boy boarders accommodated in the Lodge. As of September 2020, the school no longer ran their boarding facilities."

Also what does the last sentence mean? Are they now privately run? OldManwoodian (talk) 01:52, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
