message: "There is no uniform (except for sports uniform for the younger years), which encourages individuality within the school community".
The second phrase here seems like an opinion.  Is it a quote from school brochure/website? There could be endless discussion and research on whether this statement is true or not.  I have no strong opinion either way, but then that's not the point.  If this were to changed to "with the [stated] object of encouraging individuality within the school community", if this is true, then that's more like what we expect here; it is an observer's view of the school rather than the school's opinion of itself.  And with a reference.
Personally I think there are other, more important, ways of cultivating individuality, and that having no school uniform could be viewed by some as divisive (rich vs. poor, fashion show-offs vs others, etc.), or as unimportant  -  but that ain't the point I am making, or something to be discussed here!

replies: text: I agree with your general approach/assessment; although I guess the 'rich v poor' aspect is probably neutralised by the, err, >24K annual fee  per pupil  :)  ——Serial 16:05, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

message: The article should say what the denominational basis and the like are.
The school seems to have a Protestant basis and to be a day school.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.201.103 (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: In this edit, an IP has added Isabel dos Santos to the list of old girls, with a reference to the not-unreliable but far from neutral website of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists . Dos Santos' own article doesn't mention SPGS, but says she attended Cobham Hall School, Kent; and she's also listed among the school's alumnae in its dedicated article (albeit in both cases unsourced). She may, of course, have attended both schools. Can anyone sort this out, and make the articles compatible? GrindtXX (talk) 14:01, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an odd one. I have found and added two refs which support her attendance at St Paul's. I have also found and added to the Cobham Hall page two refs which support her attendance there. Both those refs relate to the same event (her house purchase) in 2019, so I am wondering whether she did not attend CH, an IP added her attendance in 2017 and both the 2019 articles (Times and Tatler) were working off a source which had picked up the erroneous info from Wikipedia? The sources for St Paul's are more in-depth so I would tend to trust those. Anyway, that is speculation - I have put all four refs on her own article and will post on Talk page there to see if anyone can help. I have also tagged alumni for the St Paul's article as almost none of them have a ref on this page. Tacyarg (talk) 18:17, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

message: I'm not seeing the advert problem - there are a couple of adjectives, but both seem justified. (Distinguished directors of music and performing extremely well.) What am I missing? Tacyarg (talk) 07:47, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree: it's all pretty factual and neutral. Unless someone can point to any specific instances, the tag should be removed. GrindtXX (talk) 16:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
