Talk:James Allen's Girls' School

message: I have cleaned up the notable alumni section, and removed the following people, for the following reasons. Before reverting this, please discuss it here.
=== Jessie Brown ===
Supposedly was involved in the development of Britain's atomic bomb, however no references are found in a Google search for her (Jessie Brown britain atomic bomb, for instance, produces nada). I know that Google isn't the ultimate source but there must be some reference. Sources needed!
=== Deborah Rix ===
A TV presenter not really notable. Not even in the top 10 cast members listed on IMDB for the only show she presented. I suppose she is the most notable person on this talk page list.
=== Kate Searle ===
"A daughter of the famous British cartoonist and illustrator Ronald Searle attended JAGS. It is believed that Searle drew inspiration for the costumes for his St Trinians girls from the gym-slips worn by JAGS girls. Whether he drew any other parallels between JAGS and St Trinians is not known."
The daughter of a notable person is not themselves notable. The fact that Ronald Searle was alledgedly inspired by the gym-slips worn at JAGS is of no concern to the notability of his daughter.

Talk:Bury Grammar School

message: I'm about to try and make something coherent of this article.  It strikes me, though, that it deals with two separate schools and ought, perhaps, to be two separate articles.  There is relatively little information in the article about the girls' school - it feels like an afterthought ("Hey here's our fabulous school! Oh and there are some girls next door.")  At the same time, though, both schools belong to a single foundation (same governing body etc) so perhaps it should remain as a single article?
I think I shall initially clump the girls' school bits together in a separate section on that topic, whilst making the rest of the article a better write-up of the boys' school.  At a later date perhaps either the girls' school section can move to an article of its own or somebody can add something about the girls' school that is more substantial than what is here.  
Any thoughts?

Talk:Fyling Hall School

message: Hi 
My grandfather used to own Fyling Hall for short while. He purchased it in 1930 (9 months before my mother was born there) and sold again in 1934 when he moved to Grange Over Sands in Lancs. When he sold it in 1934 it was to William and Mabel Bradley. So the dates on the article don't quite add up. Perhaps Mab Bradley started the school in 1923 (as the article says) but not in that building until 1934. 
I have a handwritten document of the property transfers of Fyling Hall from 1871 to 1934 (8 owners in all) which a relative researched locally many years ago.  
My grandfather, Frank Dickens purchased it from The British and Continental Touring Club who were the previous owners and who purchased it in 1925. Being of independent means he planned to start a pheasant farm. (Not relevant to the article, he was unfortunately not healthy enough having had TB for half of his life and died 3 years after he sold the property at the age of only 36.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trickster8 (talk • contribs) 15:13, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
