message: This point has been lost in the above debate so I am repeating it below as it still needs sorting out.
I appreciate that the statements you make about the numbers of special needs pupils and the ethnic breakdown of the pupils is verifiable but the point I was trying to make is that there seems to be no point including such statements in the article. There must be many other schools in the country with similar profiles so why is the Bulmershe any different? If there is a reason for including such statements you need to provide further explanation to merit their inclusion. At the moment there is nothing which explains why these statements are particularly noteworthy. If you look at all the other Berkshire school Wiki pages none of them mention special needs and minorities. The information is readily available on the first page of the OFSTED report (which is what any parent would look at first anyway). The only point which might be worth mentioning is that the school has a special behavioural unit. Dahliarose 00:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops... didn't reply to that bit!  Okay, well my opinion would be that precisely because the special needs figure is high and ethnic make-up of the school is so diverse they should be included.  Bulmershe has the Newtown area of Reading as part of its catchment area... Newtown's ethnic majority is Asian and Afro-Caribbean.  I certainly wouldn't expect there to be many schools where a third of the pupils are not "White British", and where a quarter of the pupils have special educational needs.  The OFSTED inspectors certainly thought it noteworthy enough to include in their report summary.  As a side note, well done - your edits have improved the article a lot, and it's also spurred me on to make some additional edits of my own!  :-)  robwingfield «T•C» 01:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
