Issues
There are a lot of problems with this article, starting with its generally unreferenced state. I strongly suggest that editors read and apply the school article guidelines, and keep in mind the core policies for wikipedia including WP:V, WP:N and so on. I also strongly suggest that editors use this talkpage to discuss out any issues. I've left messages at user talkpages for who I see as the main participants here. &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 22:52, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

OK, I've gone back over CornElder's work, and there's still issues.
 * Citations are needed for the section on construction;
 * The visual arts section is wholly problematic. Saying that students do art for x periods per week is very run of the mill and somewhat WP:SCHOOLCRUFTy. Saying that the creative process is emphasised, or what have you, is somewhat WP:PEACOCKy. A self published source is not enough to confer notability for the head teacher.
 * "The Ensworth School is especially noted for its use of both domestic and international recruits." ...according to whom?
 * Removed mention of tennis and riflery, it still needs to be noted in a WP:RS
 * I've removed the achievement sections, it MUST be sourced.
 * I've removed two paragraphs from the Academics section. Saying that it has achieved success is WP:PEACOCKy, particularly without a citation. The second bit, that they differentiate the curriculum, is run of the mill (I've visited one classroom schools that do this).
 * 16th out of 25 isn't especially "consistent", either.

Essentially, WP:WPSCH/AG is not being closely followed here. The page is full of WP:SCHOOLCRUFT and is written too much from a non-neutral perspective. It does need more references, particularly for contentious statements. &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 01:08, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

And you can not use a self published source to claim that a school is a premier anything. Otherwise the school at which I teach is a "world leader" in sport and academics. &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 01:23, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, that was a learning experience... &tilde;danjel [ talk &#124; contribs ] 02:36, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
