• Delete unless wikipedia wants a short, pointless article for every run of the mill school on the planet. CDThieme 05:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. Thanks to Neutrality, I've had no time for adding content today. --Unfocused 05:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Instutional Vanity. Wikipedia isn't a triviabase Gmaxwell 06:27, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Can't you Speedy things like this based on the no-content clause? I mean, this isn't exactly "he was a funny man" stuff, but it's no article. Even a For Sale ad in the freebies of your local paper would be longer than this. Master Thief Garrett 07:31, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Efficient little crammer, very English. You can practically smell the boiled cabbage and gym shorts. Very pretty. Obvious scope for growth here. I'll add a link to its 2004 Independent Schools Inspectorate report. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep schools. Inherently notable (expect to be seeing this posted quite a few times). R Calvete 19:49, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world.

• Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
