I have changed the following "After Ofsted complaints about the lack of transparency regarding admissions criteria as part of the interview process, selection has since taken place via entrance examination." as I feel it gives the wrong impression. There isn't an examination upon entry nowadays, although there may still be some ambiguity that needs to be removed. - Xepio 12:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Added some information about school and information about "Europe's most sport-minded school" award including reference. - Timothyrogers 19:06, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Added Richard Madeley (Richard and Judy) to Notable Alumni. Head of school PA has stated that he was at the school for around a year. - Timothyrogers 20:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Notable alumni
This information needs to be sourced per WP:Verify and WP:CITE. I have removed the section because I had tagged it as needing sources some time ago and no sources have been provided. Megapixie 21:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Also this school has a complicated history of predecessor schools and locations. Any notable alumni should indicate which of the schools they went to. MRSC • Talk 10:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Notable alumini (again)
Alumni must  be sourced. If not, editors will continue to remove unreferenced entries that  do  not  provide verifiable attendance at  the school. See WP:LISTPEOPLE. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Another batch of unsourced alumni removed today. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:01, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Key issue left dangling
So "The school is heavily oversubscribed with approximately 5 applicants for each of the 180 places (Over 900 applicants per year group). Due to this issue, Coopers' and Coborn School has appeared on an episode of Panorama, filmed by the BBC, to address this issue".

Very well, and what transpired? It's the height of bad editing to give an institution free publicity (which all WP articles do) whilst leaving out the most critical issue in the article. Frankly, a bit of openness and explanation is needed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
