Kathy Burke and two minor professional footballers are listed as former pupils. Are there any sources?--194.32.41.11 14:15, 15 July 2006 (UTC)


The tribute to John McIntosh headed 'Summary' is a touching encomium, but "Wikipedia" is not the right place.Westminsterboy 11:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the tributes to John McIntosh are a bit too much for Wikipedia. The School should now be concerned about the future not ponder on its past. There should be more about the legend David McFadden and his senior management team.

[edit] Allegations Concerning London Oratory Priests

In 2000 or 2001 the Daily Mail reported a case of alleged sex between a student and a priest at the school, who had recently died. Does anybody know if this fabricated or not? Can anyone source these Daily Mail stories? - anonymous

[edit] Prospectus

The article is more like a school prospectus than an encyclopediac article. The references tag has been there long enough to start to delete or organize material.

[edit] Verifiability

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiability" in this context means that readers should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.
