I've never heard it called this, has anyone else? In any case it should be

I've lived in Potters Bar for a number of years and have never heard this story. It looks like an ex-pupil has added a dead granny —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bangers (talk • contribs) 
I've heard this rumour about several schools in the area, but whilst I was in Primary School. It seems quite pervasive of many schools in fact, not limited to Mount Grace, or Potters Bar for that matter. 82.6.55.244 21:19, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: At grammar school, I recollect my english teacher stating that Potter Bar was an old Gibbet from London - it a bar upon which crmiminals heads were exposed....and it was removed and dumped outslide london at  Potters Bar - this seems unlikely but any comments?
:I don't know if Potters Bar had a gallows, but if you read the Etymology section you will see it's part of the coaching inn toll road system of the Great North Road. So there may have been something near the Green Man Pub. However unless had a published source for you information nothing could be confirmed. Govvy (talk) 12:52, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

message: There is some history to the Pub's in Potters Bar, I am surprised that only the Green Man in mentioned. The oldest Pub The Manor isn't mentioned, nor is the Bridge Pub which was knocked down and converted into flats. I think that was part of the cannel network which once had small trading boats that were on their way to London with trade goods. It might be a good idea to write something about the pubs.

message: I have suggested that Lochinver House School should be merged here as a non-notable primary, as per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Any comments appreciated. CalzGuy (talk) 16:43, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Schools generally have their own article why should you merge? Govvy (talk) 12:56, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Primary schools generally don't. Have you read WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES? A primary school needs to be notable and well referenced to warrant an article. This article has zero references and, from reading the article, extremely low notability. There really is no reason to keep it as a separate article. CalzGuy (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
