[edit] The school's malevolence

This section is not biased. The realities of this school's almost fascist way of ruling the children is or ever was blown out of proportion. I agree that the survey should be shown, just to appeal to a fair hearing. I am the Grey Fox. I will do everything I now can to reveal the truth about this school that they do that is unfair, and patriotic, in a sense. They may be no nation, but they have the same attitude as America, or China. Remember -- China calls themselves a Communist country, and SCCS calls itself a Community School. The way they do stuff is unnaturally similar. They add their egoistic slogan whenever they can: "A brilliant place to learn". I think the students will be the judge of that. It saddens me to see great teachers, great teaching ability going to waste in such a bad school. The teavhers at SCCS is generally very good. Many teachers are great people, but all are brought down by the headteacher, Ms. Leeke. When Mr. Salisbury left, things started to turn sour. A true shame. When I went to the open day, I met Mr. Salisbury. he seemed like a nice guy. But he said that when I go into Yr. 7, he would have left already. Now I am in Year 10 (you still won't catch me), and I wish that he stayed. But at least they changed 'first female head teacher in camden's history' to 'first female head teacher in the school's history'. The school does not consult children in any way if they decide to change any rules; what we've got here, is failure to communicate! While a uniform should be allowed, this certain one is very restricted -- the students have to wear the schools logo, not allowed to shop around, and buy them at £9, not cheaper for poorer parents. I've had enough, and soon the students union will come to secondary schools... Thank you, but knowing what the school will do, this message will be gone soon, replaced by some right-wing nonsense.

[edit] Rewrite Feb 2007

I have attempted to pull this article together into a better shape and would welcome constructive comments. Some sections (e.g. history) are new; others sections are reworded / combined (e.g. the profile of the school, with proper references to the last OFSTED report and latest GCSE results); other sections have been removed (e.g. the section on "Behaviour for learning" / BFL. My view, for what it's worth, is that BFL is not sufficiently noteworthy for inclusion. Students at the school who want to re-edit this article are, of course, free to do so, but please think before just undoing what I've written. Contributors should remember the Wikipedia policies on maintaining a "neutral point of view" WP:POV and providing references to published / verifiable sources WP:CITE. (NB Saying "I'm there and I know what it's like" does not count for WP:CITE purposes!) If you're unsure, please discuss things here first.

And, whether "The Grey Fox" believes me or not, I have no connection with the school or anyone there (staff or student) - I'm just trying to clean up the article... Bencherlite 00:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
