The result was delete. I have given lower weight to the arguments which are based on the suggestion that schools are inherently notable and other similar articles exist, and to those alleging that sources are available without making any effort to provide them.

 * 'Delete' has no reliable source of information. Personal Websites are not reliable source of informationAuthor Sanju (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are plenty of sources, just as there are for any secondary school in the United Kingdom. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:46, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As per the above, there are plenty of references available, esp. in Google News. --Whiteguru (talk) 12:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES#3 confirms that Secondary schools are no longer assumed as notable without refs, as per any WP:ORG. I would argue that the Chronicle article is WP:Basic enough to show notability of the schools origins - there is plenty more news stories, especially about poor attainment and being in requiring improvement since 2016 - WP:Before - I therefore would say Keep with work.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 14:52, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep An educational institute must not be deleted. There are a number of schools articles on Wikipedia which are not even referenced a single resource but passes notability. Priyanjali singh (talk) 08:44, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Agreed! An educational institute should not be deleted. - Ret.Prof (talk) 14:49, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Schools are not inherently notable. They need to pass GNG and such articles often get unnoticed, and "they do not pass notability". You should try WP:BEFORE regarding such schools, and if you find significant coverage, then source the article - otherwise get them AfDed. Wikipedia is not a directory. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says it clearly that "At one time, secondary schools were assumed notable unless sources could not be found to prove existence, but following a February 2017 RFC, secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist, and are still subject to WP:N and WP:ORG.". Now that's 3 years before. A school, "secondary school" failing GNG doesn't deserve a place here. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:26, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article does not pass GNG or NORG. Sources in the article do not establish notability and BEFORE showed only routine, run of the mill coverage. Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist. The Keep votes above simply state references exist, but fail to provide any at all, or explain why the school is notable. The lack of providing sources above shows the sources do not exist, if they did they would be listed especially if there were plenty as is claimed.  // Timothy ::  talk  00:20, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. Created in 2007 by a WP:SPA, the article lacks WP:SIGCOV demonstrating any widespread or lasting notability. Has only routine, WP:RUNOFTHEMILL coverage. Newshunter12 (talk) 19:47, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete secondary schools aren't presumed to be notable and this one lacks the significant in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources required by WP:GNG and WP:NORG. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:57, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
