[Untitled][edit]

Sir Thomas Wolsey did not go to Ipswich School 172.142.188.128JohnC

Notable alumni[edit]

"John Smith, Famous squash player in the 1920's" may be made up, as he does not appear under the article of that name. 129.67.63.75 17:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk could not have been a pupil (list of Old Ipswichians) as he was born in 1443, over 40 years before the foundation of Ipswich School's predecessor.Cloptonson (talk) 18:57, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

U6th leaving events[edit]

Oh come on, this section is just silly. The school's heavily exaggerated reputation for hosting "impressive" pranks only exists within the school, and hardly merits recognition here. Besides which, much of it consists of point-scoring by ex-pupils. Übermensch (talk) 11:35, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Historical accuracy[edit]

Have some doubts on these:

"The oldest record of Ipswich School goes back to 1299" - the school's history webpage seems to give the date as 1399

"...The King's School, Ipswich by Thomas Wolsey in 1528" - 1528 seems to be reported as when Wolsey created the Cardinal’s College of Mary in Ipswich, legally incorporating the separate school to it. The site apparently was demolished after two years, half-built.

"Wolsey created his new college, funded by the suppression of religious houses such as Rumburgh Priory,[5] by absorbing into the former school some of the institutions in the town such as St. Mary's College, and named it (The King's School, Ipswich). Since the time of Wolsey the school has gone from strength to strength as he hoped it would."

- Seems this may be the reverse of what was absorbed into what, inaccurate on the naming, and misleading regarding Wolsey's plan.

"Ipswich School is mentioned in Shakespeare's play, Henry VIII:....(Ipswich and Oxford! One of which fell with him, Unwilling to outlive the good that did it;"

- The mention seems to be of Wolsey's College of Mary rather than the school directly.
