North Baddesley Infant School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local infant school in North Baddesley. No indication of importance. Sources are school's website. Is not notable. Eostrix (talk) 16:58, 3 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Look on the talk page for the article for what I think. Mr Liffee (talk) 16:59, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I did. Being founded in the late 19th century in the UK is not unusual, and is not an indication of significance--Eostrix (talk) 17:01, 3 June 2020 (UTC).

 * Delete. Non notable school lack of significant sources to prove otherwise. Ajf773 (talk) 01:20, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - my babysitter's name was Putsy. Perhaps she's notable too. It's a nursery school. There are schools in Britain that are over 1000 years old. Simply being old isn't a claim to notability. John from Idegon (talk) 08:55, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect as per |wp:schools] any school that is not notable, which other than it got a good in Ofsted and was closed for snow references, needs to be redirected to the page of the town or local vacinity. User talk:Davidstewartharvey 15:32, 4 June 2020
 * Comment - above editor is a bit confused about WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which he appears to be referencing. We redirect nn mainstream educational institutions in this situation. We do not redirect beauty schools, we do not redirect basic music and dance instructors and we do not redirect preschools (or infant schools or nursery schools - all regional terms for the same thing). I wasn't being totally flippant above - preschool programs are as much or more about babysitting than education. Specifically oppose redirect to locality.

 * Comment Actually this is a primary school not a preschool, which is why I quoted this WP which it actually clearly states that non secondary education should be redirected to the town/region page unless it is notable.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 10:01, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Seconding this. The article as it stands is wrong: the school takes Reception to Year 2, which means ages 4–7, or the youngest three years of primary school.  That's the usual meaning of "infant school" in England in regions that have them; it's the counterpart to a "junior school", which covers Years 3–6 (i.e. the remainder of primary school).  (And then you get first schools, which cover Reception to Year 4 in areas with middle schools.  It's all a mess.) YorkshireLad  ✿  (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment the WP:WPSCH/AG does confirm the policy what level schools are at. Where preschool has come from is a mystery! User talk:Davidstewartharvey
 * Redirect to North Baddesley. Non-notable infant school. The date of the building is not significant in this case; lots of schools were built in the 1870s. Tacyarg (talk) 16:58, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Redirect to North Baddesley, where I've just added a section about this and the junior school. Pam  D  19:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * If it was a listed building (it isn't, I've checked NHLE list) then that might make it notable, but just being a Victorian foundation doesn't qualify for notability. : in the UK system an "infant school" is not a pre-school, it's the early 3 years of compulsory, mainstream, school. I don't know how they do things in Idegon! Pam  D  19:06, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
