message: I notice a number of potentially unsupported assertions in this article.
More specifically, I refer to the following assertions:
1) "The school itself was founded as a sister school of Eton College with links to Oriel College (King's College, Oxford).[7]"
 --> this reference [no. 7] points to a link that no longer exists; nor could i find the information elsewhere on the current, official website of the School. As this information is highly 'reputational', I feel it needs a proper, verifiable reference, which I was unable to find. I therefore suggest we remove this assertion until someone can provide us with evidence. 
2) "There exist, however, few continued links between Oriel College and Canford, excepting the presence of some of its fellows on the school's similarly constituted governing body. Upon the school's formation, the school adopted the arms of John of Gaunt in addition to its primary symbol of the Oak tree.[11]"
 --> Similarly, this reference [no. 11] alludes to an alleged passage in vol. 3 of Sumption's Hundred Year War, more specifically pages 329-330. I would like to draw attention to the fact that these pages are part of the chapter on England's Barbicans (1377-1378) and thus do not in any ostensible way appear to implicate the history of Canford School. 
All in all, I am a worried that we might deal here with instances of self-promotion or, at the very least, poorly-referenced scholarship. 
I would therefore be grateful if the community looked more closely at this matter. 
Thank you,
A Young Canfordian
