 * Keep Notable and historic school. Andrew D. (talk) 15:15, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
 * delete Yeah, it's old, but I couldn't find anything outside the usual guidebooks except for a one sentence description and a couple of extremely incidental mentions. It may be historic, but nobody ever seems to have cared enough say much. Mangoe (talk) 16:24, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Had a senior school until 2016, so nominator's stated reason for deletion is invalid per WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Independent reliable sources exist, e.g., , , . Qwfp (talk) 09:38, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * We have been told that merely being a secondary school is not to be taken as sufficient note, and of the souces you give, three are local paper coverage and the other is a publication of the school itself. Mangoe (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * By whom have we been told? And why should three different local papers not count as independent reliable sources? Qwfp (talk) 19:47, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * (a) By WP:SCHOOLRFC, specifically the first conclusion listed; (b) I only count two different local papers, but in any case it has generally been held that merely local notice is insufficient. Mangoe (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. Well sourced, including The Times, and government sources. Passes WP:GNG.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:22, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even a primary school can be notable, if there are good enough sources, as here. . And this was also a highschool in the past, & therefore remains notable as one. The most recent schools afc held that there was no consensus to change the practice of keeping all genuine highschools (it also said that there was no consensus that quoting schooloutcomes was enough, which is what has caused the confusion. I interpret that has saying that we have to give the reason why we have the practice of keeping all high schools, which is not that they are intrinsically notable, but as a convention to treat them as is they are notable to avoid incessant debates--debates which were giving no better result than random.)

 * It would be nice if there were consensus on what the current consensus actually was. I personally would keep high schools but have been told several times over of late that such default notability no longer applied (.i.e, was always wrong). Mangoe (talk) 17:40, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
