[edit] Copyvio problem and reference cite cleanup
A large paragraph in the center of the introduction seems to be copyvio from http://www.school-portal.co.uk/GroupHomepage.asp?GroupID=33948 and needs to be re-written.
I've also found references for many parts of the article, though some sections still needed to be tagged {{citeneeded}} for now.
Note that from the tone and structure of the text, I suspect that the section on the school coat of arms is also copyvio.

- As I suspected, the 3 coat of arms paragraphs are copyvio. See [1] and [2]. --Stephane Charette 08:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trivia/pranks
Could somebody explain to me what's so notable about some prankers panting the school clock tower pink, or one class swapping their study room with another, etc. ? - Mike Rosoft 16:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Because it is a tradition that the final day of Year 13 is called "Leavers' Day". How well each year carries out its pranks, and the audacity to which they are carried out, affects how well remembered each year is. Virtually every 6th form class has had the references to the Great Common Room Switch up on the e-whiteboards at Borlase this week, and it was felt, for that reason, that it had therefore gained the "notable" requirement necessary to be displayed. --Birdie100 12:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
