 * Comment: common practice (but not written guidelines) holds that secondary schools are considered notable, at least this is the standard applied to American schools in AFD. So the standard should either be applied everywhere or reconsidered. Frankly I find the dividing line between primary and secondary schools bizarrely arbitrary. This entry is actually better sourced than some US school entries. Hairhorn (talk) 14:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Secondary schools are notable and articles about them are ideal encycopedic knowledge. It is also critical that the bias inherent in WP for articles on USA based schools in addressed.scope_creep (talk) 17:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Secondary school article with references from national newspapers far exceeds what's mentioned at Articles for deletion/Common outcomes. First Light (talk) 19:31, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - the reasons for keeping high schools are given in the essay WP:NHS. However, apart from the generality this is clearly a significant and notable school. The page needs work but that is an editorial matter. There are plenty of sources available that meet WP:ORG and from which the article can be expanded. TerriersFan (talk) 15:48, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep by usual consensus as a secondary school, and in fact this one is better sourced than most. --MelanieN (talk) 14:17, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per all the above. Bigger digger (talk) 23:41, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
