Should this page be divided up by borough level rather than the somewhat arbitrary which town is closest ? Pickle 02:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

A purpose of this list is to prevent lists of schools being included in Kent town articles. Maybe just the villages could be grouped by borough?. Epbr123 08:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The reason I ask is because my primary school, Tunbury, is in the Medway list, yet technically is in Kent as part of Medway it is in, is in Tonbridge and Malling BC rather than Medway UA. Pickle 12:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I've moved the Medway towns into the Mid Kent list so that it doesn't create confusion over which boroughs schools are in. Epbr123 15:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

This is just more confusing, as links to the LEA cannot now be found and because of the mediaeval Eleven Plus System this affects selection procedures. Imperfect though it may be Local Government District is the system to use. Also Mid Kent had a precise meaning in the pre-Medway days that is not reflected here-- its all been tried before, and we have got what we have got! ClemRutter 11:24, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

If someone's willing to reorganise the list, I don't mind. Epbr123 11:43, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't see what effect a local government reorganisation has on this article. Medway is still part of Kent. Epbr123 (talk) 02:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alphabetical order?

Would it not be better to put the places in alphabetical order? And not too many independent schools are included are they? Is it meant to just be the LEA schools?Peter Shearan (talk) 07:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
