Assessment: Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school article. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of B on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of High on this importance scale. For information on improving this article, please visit the WikiProject Schools Project Page. My reasoning is as follows: Needs some reorganization and a lot more referencing. Mid for alumni.

It has been suggested that Kipling House be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)

The above still appears at the top of the Haileybury article, but I see the two have already been merged, although there is no discussion on this page! I would have supported keeping the Kipling House article. 194.72.162.199 01:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I moved here the following allegation:

Haileybury is now trying to shake off its racist past. This has been considerably helped by the removal of the deputy master who openly expressed racist views to minority pupils as late as 1999.

If such is warranted then it should be substantiated from an authoritative public record.

[edit] Cyril Radcliffe

Is the Haileybury and New College, Oxford mentioned in [this link] the same place as this Haileybury ? Tintin Talk 16:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

=No=

No it isnt.

Well, which Haileybury is it? Bill Tegner 23:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

There are other references on the Net of Cyril Radcliffe being a Haileyburian - however, none of these seem particularly reputable: [1] [2] Wasn't it a point of controversy that Attlee appointed members of his old School to various posts which they were otherwise unqualified?

[edit] Name

Is it formally "Haileybury and Imperial Service College", or "Haileybury College"? Was there a renaming at any point? Certainly the latter is most commonly used, but... Shimgray | talk | 10:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Ans: The full title of the school is Haileybury and Imperial Services College. The correct short title of the school is simply Haileybury. I remember the Master giving quite a speech about the incorrect use of Haileybury College one lists (Friday assembly when not in Chapel).

Charles Villiers

Villiers was born in 1802. How could he have been educated at Haileybury which was founded in 1862? Bill Tegner 23:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

He must have been at the East India College, founded 1805 --129.67.117.236 16:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re-assessment

This article has been expanded since it was last assessed and is now a B. The alumni would be best split into a separate article. More content should be added particularly about the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Most importantly there is a lot of work needed on the referencing. I am upgrading the article to high importance based on the alumni and the history. Dahliarose (talk) 10:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
