Has had no secondary sources since creation, only sources I could find were trivial mentions in local media, certainly not significant coverage. Earlier AfD 16 years ago advanced arguments now rejected by the community regarding school notability. AusLondonder (talk) 10:48, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. Available sourcing meets WP:GNG. It would be very rare for a secondary school in the UK not to. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:27, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to sources in the article or elsewhere? Because the article contains just one source potentially acceptable, however it is a run of the mill local media mention of a government inspection. AusLondonder (talk) 15:15, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I'm referring to sources that can be found with a search. AfD isn't only judged by sourcing already in the article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Well I'm not finding them. I'm seeing a lot of directory listings and government websites which do not contribute to satisfying notability requirements. Simply asserting that all schools or all schools in the UK are notable is repeating an argument that has been comprehensively rejected by the community and should therefore be disregarded.

 * Keep. Two cursory searches (beyond a plain Google look) give evidence of notability, with sources available through 1) Google Scholar (11 results, including Engaging parents: why and how Technical Report, Shaping a New Educational Landscape: Exploring Possibilities for Education in the 21st Century and Business Development - A sure way to spell success. This last one has a £14.00 fee, too steep for me, but still, it exists!) and 2) through ProQuest, accessible by logging in first to Wikmedia Commons, then The Wikipedia Library Platform available to any registered editor whose account is six months old and has 500 edits. Once on the platform, scroll down to ProQuest, where you can access 184 ProQuest links to articles containing the search term "Hadley Learning Community" (in quotes); even if only 10% have significant coverage, GNG would be met easily. See: Synetrix provides ICT for Hadley Learning Community, Olympian dives in with stories to tell in children's book, and Pupils are filmed for Children in Need choir, Primary keeps 'good' rating, Children dress up for author's visit. Were it up to me, editors nominating articles for AfD would be required to conduct searches beyond Google. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 19:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
