Talk:Haileybury and Imperial Service College

Suggestion
'''It has been suggested that Kipling House be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)'''

The above still appears at the top of the Haileybury article, but I see the two have already been merged, although there is no discussion on this page! I would have supported keeping the Kipling House article. 194.72.162.199 01:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Allegation
I moved here the following allegation:

''Haileybury is now trying to shake off its racist past. This has been considerably helped by the removal of the deputy master who openly expressed racist views to minority pupils as late as 1999.''

If such is warranted then it should be substantiated from an authoritative public record.

Cyril Radcliffe
Is the Haileybury and New College, Oxford mentioned in [this link] the same place as this Haileybury ? Tintin Talk 16:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

=No=

No it isnt.

Well, which Haileybury is it? Bill Tegner 23:13, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

There are other references on the Net of Cyril Radcliffe being a Haileyburian - however, none of these seem particularly reputable:   Wasn't it a point of controversy that Attlee appointed members of his old School to various posts which they were otherwise unqualified?

I belive that there is a need to greatly reduce the alumini section as most of the personalitys mentioned are not know to the public.If the scection countinues to be managed in this way then it will eventualy become a meaningless list of students.

Name
Is it formally "Haileybury and Imperial Service College", or "Haileybury College"? Was there a renaming at any point? Certainly the latter is most commonly used, but... Shimgray | talk | 10:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Ans: The full title of the school is Haileybury and Imperial Services College. The correct short title of the school is simply Haileybury. I remember the Master giving quite a speech about the incorrect use of Haileybury College one lists (Friday assembly when not in Chapel).

Charles Villiers
Villiers was born in 1802. How could he have been educated at Haileybury which was founded in 1862? Bill Tegner 23:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

He must have been at the East India College, founded 1805 --129.67.117.236 16:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Name again

 * The school is now officially called 'Haileybury' as seen on its website www.haileybury.com. It was once Haileybury and Imperial Service College, but that was changed round about the turn of the millennium.


 * I am going to leave this a week (for other comments, etc), and then rename. Mycroft (talk) 14:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

By no means an expert, but someone comments above that it's full name is still Haileybury and Imperial Services College, but Haileybury is used for short. The website doens't really address that question (in effect it's a brand name, perhaps?). Anyway, there's already a page at Haileybury (a diambiguation page basically), so a move isn't going to be entirely straightforward. David Underdown (talk) 15:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I saw the comment above by Harry Smith (who was a contemporary of mine) and believe he's slightly misremembering the school assembly in question, but that's neither here nor there. I have just spoken to the school who have stated that the name of the charity behind the school is Haileybury and Imperial Services College, but that the name of the school is indeed Haileybury. Obviously, a phone call is not a decent source, and with the disambiguation page in place, things would be really quite tricky. Thus, I'm in no rush to change things, and welcome any and all other comments - especially any sources that people might have. Mycroft (talk) 15:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * With regard to the disambiguation problem, I have reversed the issue. Previously, Haileybury Disambiguation redirected to Haileybury, which was the disambiguation page itself. Now Haileybury redirects to Haileybury Disambiguation, and the appropriate content has been transferred across. Thus, if we decide to change the name, there is no conflict, and we would just do a simple transfer. We would then just need to put a simple 'For other uses, etc etc' link at the top of the Haileybury page. As I said, though, am willing to take advice on this.

Re-assessment
This article has been expanded since it was last assessed and is now a B. The alumni would be best split into a separate article. More content should be added particularly about the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Most importantly there is a lot of work needed on the referencing. I am upgrading the article to high importance based on the alumni and the history. Dahliarose (talk) 10:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Old Wykehamists, Old Haileyburians, etc. to become "Alumni of... "?

History
At present the history is exclusively about the building. Can someone write more about the history of the institution, why it was founded, whether it was specifically to train civil servants, who the early masters were, what its constitution is, how the governing body is appointed etc? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) (talk) 09:48, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
