mixed school edit

is this a girls school? is there a primary school and a secondary school? is it the same institution? i ask this because in one of the websites there are mixed pupils. if so, there needs to be a correction, or a distinction at the least. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 01:33, 24 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

TONE CONCERNS edit

sentences such as: "Kung Fu Juggling tournament, it did not end well", "Packed to the brim with happy, well taught students it is a shining beacon for all to marvel", " the really good windfarm." are inacceptable. this article should be considered for wikification or rewriting in its entirety.

How Wikipedia works, pt 94 edit

On 5 April 2009, Lumos3 added the sentence, "The school building was originally a hunting lodge belonging to the Earls of Bristol." On 23 July 2016 an IP tweaked the sentence first to read "The original building on the site was a Hunting Lodge belonging to the Earls of Bristol."; and then again to read "The original building on the site was a 'Hunting Lodge' (of unknown age)." On 1 December 2016, an IP vandal changed that to read "The original building on the site was a 'Haunting Lodge' (of unknown age)" (plus two other changes of "Hunting" to "Haunting", and one of "Pugin" to "Penguin"). Nobody seems to have noticed this, but on 25 July 2017 a major rewrite by Dormskirk eliminated the other vandalistic edits. The first one, however, was left untouched (perhaps in the mistaken belief that the quotation marks and capitals suggested that it was a direct quotation in archaic spelling from a historic source). I have now corrected it. GrindtXX (talk) 12:07, 19 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
