Comment[edit]
I have updated the article, much of which was based on a single 2005 Guardian article. Paul W (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
School arts performances[edit]
I have moved this section here (maybe someone will resurrect it), as it is reliant on dead links: Paul W (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
The schools drama department's production of "Romeo and Juliet" was performed at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, in October 2009 following a sellout run at Greenwich Theatre.[citation needed] The last Kidbrooke School production to be performed at this venue was the largely successful "Hotel World" by Ali Smith, a performance which earned the title of Best Play in the Edinburgh Fringe Report Awards.[1] In August 2010, Romeo and Juliet ran for a successful week at the Edinburgh Fringe festival led by director L. Cuthbertson;[2] earning several four to five star reviews[citation needed]. The play was modernized to highlight issues of knife crime and social disorder prevalent in the Kidbrooke community, in association with the Jimmy Mizen foundation,[3] and this, as well as powerful representations of characters such as Tybalt, Juliet, and Nurse Angelica[4] were particular points of acclaim from Fringe critics.[5]

Legal change- March 2018[edit]
I am flagging this up as ip-editor has made a few changes, which appear to come from inside knowledge. Kidbrooke as the UK first purpose built comprehensive is historically important, as is the building. A change from a Co-operative trust to being managed by a MAT is a sensitive issue- and there is a case for keeping Corelli/Kidbrooke as a school that has closed. Referencing is essential. --ClemRutter (talk) 23:59, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Clem Rutter. The new school may share the same site as the former Corelli but is completely outside of the control and establishment of Corelli or Kidbrooke.
- Corelli couldn't find enough staff and closed. The site has been taken on as a new concern by new ownership and management and is no longer owned and paid for by the local community

Mixed sex intake[edit]
I changed the date for when Kidbrooke started taking boys from 1982 to 1980 - I know it was 1980 because I was one of them! 90 boys started at Kidbrooke in September 1980, along with the 1800 girls who were already there - it was terrifying! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.99.211.130 (talk) 08:50, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- But we need a reliable source that says 1980 (Guardian source says 1982). Paul W (talk) 16:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- so does the official website ;P [1]https://thehalleyacademy.org.uk/our-heritage/ 'From 1982 Kidbrooke started admitting boys to become co-educational ...' 86.151.42.88 (talk) 20:19, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
