Talk:St Wilfrid's Catholic High School, North Featherstone

This article desperately is in need of cleanup. If anyone can help, this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tim.bounceback(talk 22:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made a start. Most of the offending document was copied-and-pasted from www.wakefield.gov.uk. Some of the text has been removed- Wikipedia is not the Schools own website, and most of this deleted information should go on there (even if that does appear to be broken at the moment).
 * It still needs more work, more references would be nice, and an introductory paragraph explaining what the School Saints And Forms is all about would be interesting. Chriswiki 08:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Information on this article is old and it is written in a favourable viewpoint
In my opinion, it is in need of an almost completely new rewrite, but please discuss. --WillDixon (talk) 12:53, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * 'The April 2007 inspection by OfSTED recognised the school as "Good with Outstanding features". The subsequent Religious Education inspection awarded an "Outstanding" judgement.' It fails to discuss the more recent inspections, and the inspections of other departments, which were not so favourable.
 * 'Also the school has undergone renovations' this was written in 2006, making them 14 years old at this point.
 * Frequently mentions that it's a language college, even-though it has stopped offering language resources in the sixth form this year, and no longer has that status.
 * Many of the awards are for the 2005-2008 time period, when a lot of things could have changed.
 * Frequently mentions positives, and not drawbacks, so it is not written in a unbiased point of view
 * Controversy over management and uniform policy should be mentioned
