Queensmill School

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable, and is no different from any other special school Davey 2010   Talk  22:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep We've never discussed the status of this type of school. It serves autistic children of secondary school age, and perhaps should be considered as any other secondary school. I notice it has a notable alumnus--in the old days when we considered secondary schools individually, notable alumni were a significant factor (naturally, essentially any long-established secondary school will have some, subject mainly to our bias in available sources, which is one of the reasons we stopped individually debating them.).

 * Comment -- By convention we keep most articles on High Schools. I would have thought that should extend to speialist secondary schools.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - contains a high school and has additional claims to notability from its 'Outstanding' assessment and by virtue of its specialism. No reason to think that with careful research compliance with WP:ORG cannot be obtained. TerriersFan (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep: Its true as DGG says that few special schools have been at AfD (but see Articles for deletion/Summit School (Queens, New York) (2009)), but I this one appears notable as well.--Milowent • hasspoken  03:26, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep a high school is a high school. Being special does not negate that.  That would be discriminatory--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 20:41, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It states Queensmill School is a coeducational special school for austistic children, If it was a PRIMARY or SECONDARY School i'd of said that so I apologize if it came across discriminatory it wasn't my intention Davey 2010   Talk  20:52, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The school educates to KS5, so far as the students are able to manage, the equivalent of Sixth Form, so I am not seeing a good reason to treat it differently to other high schools. TerriersFan (talk) 21:14, 3 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep for my usual reasons. Verified secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:02, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
