Do current buildings date back to 1877?.
The article makes the claim that the the current buildings date back to 1877.

I've no problem with the fact that the school was founded in 1877. However the original home of the school was Watlington House in Watlington Street. That building was taken over by its current owners (an independent charitable trust) in 1931, shortly after Kendrick School moved to its current site.

Admittedly, looking at the current site it seems likely that at least some of the buildings pre-date its use as a school. But it seems awfully coincidental if these buildings just happened to be built the same year as the school was founded on a different site. My suspicion is the author of the statement failed to understand this history, and simply assumed that the date of the buildings = date of foundation.

We need some hard cites to sort this out properly, so I've added a cite needed tag. -- Starbois (talk) 11:29, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Found a few cites, but nothing for current buildings. I've updated and cited. Also realised there were *no* previous cites, so I've put a refimprove on it. -- Starbois (talk) 13:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Houses
Should a note be added to explain that Houses are a recent addition? I attended Kendrick between 1998-2005 and we did not have a House system. It might be giving a false impression of the long-term history of the school as it implies they have always been there. I'm afraid I don't know when they were brought in though! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.76.114 (talk) 16:20, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
