I suggest it is renamed. Which I'll do in two weeks unless someone disagrees.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Adding lower-case 'school' as proposed by SMM would make the title more normal looking. It is certainly an option though only one person favored this. Even in New South Wales there are other school articles that lack 'school' in their name. Look at  for examples like Abbotsleigh and Danebank. Confusion with a type of grammar doesn't seem likely; if the place was called 'Context Free Grammar' then perhaps we would have a problem. EdJohnston (talk) 03:48, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Post-close notes:
#  To the closer, I didn't suggest it was confusable with a  grammar, but with a published grammar (i.e., a book); "grammar" has three meanings, not just two. 
#  MOS:ENGVAR pertains to changing, e.g., "trunk" to "boot" with regard to car parts, or changing "neighbour" to "neighbor". It has nothing to do with whether disambiguation is needed. The very fact that this name only makes sense to a subset of English speakers is the very reason to have moved it to Georges River Grammar school or even Georges River Grammar (school), which makes sense to 100% of English speakers.  The very fact that it's a colloquialism is the very problem. This name makes not sense at all to North Americans (at least; I'm skeptical of the claim that all Commonwealth subjects find it natural).
If I'd noticed this closed the way it did I would have taken it to WP:MR as having insufficient and insufficiently policy-reasoned "consensus" to move this to a naturally ambiguous name, but it's surely too late at this point, and should just be RM'ed again after some more time has passed. The finding of "consensus" is clearly wrong, since 50% of the participants raised the same natural ambiguity problem (for two different reasons), a clear WP:PRECISION problem, while the proponent never addressed this, and the lone supporter of the present name tried to counter this, but only did so by clearly misapplying MOS:ENGVAR. That's 2-0 against, from a valid policy arguments perspective.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  18:11, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

text: No, I have not "misapplied" ENGVAR in any way. In fact, I think you've misapplied WP:PRECISION here, since the article title is precise enough to define the article. What does this title need disambiguation from, exactly? Do we translate every name from another language to English because English-speakers may not understand it? No we do not. So why do we need to explain this title which is actually in English in the first place? Your argument seems to be "I don't understand it so it needs to be moved". And you're saying my argument wasn't policy-based!-- Necrothesp (talk) 09:23, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It would appear that Georges River Grammar is not affiliated to the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation. It's not included in this list, nor in Ref.11 in Affiliation section of this article. Does anyone know which schools corporation it does come under, if any? And why are we attributing it to the wrong one? Have they recently left or switched affiliation? My only interest here is as a pending changes reviewer, having just reverted this edit by IP 49.195.214.8. Rodney Baggins (talk) 08:18, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
