Talk:Hutchesons' Grammar School

Former Pupils
Where is the reference to the so-called Ninja Pirates? Is this section a joke? I have removed one the links because it was merely offensive and contained no information relevant to this article. As a former pupil, myself, I was very unharpy with my time at Hutchesons', but I would not like this article defaced - comments require references!

Michael McIntyre - Massive potato, Hockey Legend. Links to the comedian Michael McIntyre but is clearly a reference to some pupil who thought he would be funny. Removed. SPACKlick (talk) 13:24, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

"The girls' site in Kingarth Street became the mixed primary school with all the secondary pupils at what had been the boys' school in Beaton Road." Not quite. Initially S1 and S2 were housed at Kingarth Street. This may be the least interesting factual correction in the history of wikipedia. 130.225.25.177 (talk) 12:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Amalgamation
The intro says amalgamation was in 1976 and the body says it was in 1975 but my memory says it was in 1974! That's when my boys' P5 class moved to Kingarth Street for P6. Of course amalgamation was a process, not a single event, and I'm not sure it was entirely complete even when I left S6 in 1982. It took a long time before all teaching became co-educational, and I think it even varied from department to department for a long time. 87.57.141.83 (talk) 06:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Text from https://www.hutchesons.org/our-school/our-history/ "THOMAS HUTCHESON (C1590-1641) Thomas Hutcheson died on 1st September 1641, just 6 months after he laid the foundation stone for the Hospital. Fortunately all plans were already in place and by 1643 the first pupil, Archibald Edmiston, was enrolled. The building was two storeys high and had a 100ft steeple roofed in lead with a clock and a bell tower."

Houses
I have removed the list of houses from the article as it is unsourced, and became of what WP:WPSCH/AG says: "School houses, so beloved by Hogwarts fans, pose an interesting problem, they are relevant and should be mentioned if they serve a pastoral function but count as trivia if they are add-ons only rolled out on sport day to form artificial competition". No indication here that they do serve a pastoral function, and unsourced in any case. Tacyarg (talk) 21:20, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
