[edit] Praise System?

I am not sure that the information about the schools PRAISE System is actually notable or appropriate for wikipedia.

Anyone else got any views on this?

This page is contary to the guidlines set by Wikipedia re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_page - Polemical statements: This article should therefore be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.242.80.140 (talk • contribs)

I however disagree, the PRAISE system is an important part of the school life and is the biggest and most major change to how the school is ran from 2006. It not only has an influence for students but also teachers and non-teaching staff. Therefore, the PRAISE system with it's pros and cons should be in it's own sub-section or if not that, it should detfintly be in the history of the school. Only1NIG1 00:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I must also disagree. I am a student, and the code influences heavily on daily school-life; therefore, in my opinion, it is required to be in the article, as it is such an important part of the system. δσώпҹ (talk)(cont) 11:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

The information regarding the PRAISE System will continue to be removed as it is polemic. For anyone here who is too dumb to understand that; polemic: of or involving dispute or controversy. This is an encyclopedia, not a forum for slagging off parts of the school!

You cannot simply skirt controversial issues, provided the information is informative, non-biased and not an attempt to push-forward a point of view then it should be permissable. The information certainly is not irrelevant to the school because it has played a major part in its recent history.

[edit] (Junior) High

Anyone think that the Gosforth Junior High School (West) page should be integrated into this article, its federated schools page? I personally don't feel that it should be, but I would like others input. Mankind 2k 16:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Even with the recent merger, they are still two separate schools, and therefore, I'd imagine, be treated as so. Asenine 16:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Alumni
