Mike, I think we might need an edit and some more info in the light of recent events - 86.141.177.76 at 13:42, 18 August 2006

[edit] POV?

This article looks POV to me:

  • Past headteachers include infamous classics teacher David John.
  • The school is steeped in history
  • There is also a tree recorded in the Doomsday book, a tradition being to see how many year 7s can be fitted inside
  • Yet despite the beautiful surroundings on some areas of the campus
  • In which students are forced to learn
  • Its annual musical productions are renowned for their high standards and daring
  • The school has extensive behavioural problems. Anti-social behaviour and bullying is the norm. One reason for this maybe the lack of any good clear strategy to deal with the problem and a general "can't-do" attitude
  • The school also prides itself on the number of foreign trips it offers
  • The Sixth Form itself is famous for achieving good reults and providing a very slim chance for students aiming for Oxbridge
  • The only notable alumni are Supergrass

It might be a point of view but bullying in wheatley park is certainly the norm and I agree with the above comment having seen it there myself. 3dom 00:09, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It is also lacking in sourced references. Rgds, - Trident13 15:10, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree, the article definatly seems biased.130.246.132.26 14:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Alot of the negative points of view have been added by someone obviously very bitter...

Article does not cite sources or references (as mentioned above), and frequently uses Weasel words. No idea who wrote it, but it's not very good and definitely could use improvement. Added a "references and sources" warning and a "weasel words" warning. Abstractium
