I've removed this section;

Other notable members include Alex Shelley, Norman Levy and Keith Shipton. Also there is Luke Withecombe (also known as 'The Body') who is a potential weight lifting champion going in for the 2012 olympics.

Is there some reason why these people are notable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tom k&e (talk • contribs) 8 June 2005.

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]

The list of headmasters is wrong - but I have no idea how to get it amended. CG (OE 1950-60)
