Talk:List of schools in the South East of England

message: The list of schools in the West Berkshire Education authority was a complete mess with lots of schools listed which are in fact in other education authorities. I've put in a list of state secondary schools from the West Berkshire LEA's website and moved all the Reading and Wokingham schools to the correct places.
I wasn't sure where to put the following schools. Could people please put them in the correct LEAs (presumably Slough, Windsor, etc.
These schools were all incorrectly listed under West Berkshire. West Berkshire is the Education Authority. Could people please place these schools under the appropriate LEAs (presumably Slough, Windsor, etc.)
*Aldryngton Primary School (in Earley)
*Bradfield College (public school)
*Dedworth Middle School (comprehensive school, in Windsor)
*Desborough School (comprehensive school, in Maidenhead)
*Eton College (public school)
*Newlands Girls' School (comprehensive school, in Maidenhead)
*Pangbourne College (public school, in Pangbourne)
*Park House School and Sports College (comprehensive school)
*Slough Grammar School (grammar school, previously: Slough Secondary School, Slough High School, Upton Grammar School)
*St Bernard's Convent School (grammar school, in Slough)
*Trevelyan School, Windsor (comprehensive middle school)
*Wellington College (public school)
*The Windsor Boys' School (comprehensive school)
Kent - Faversham - The Abbey school
(you missed it out :[)

message: The list has Downlands Community School listed in Hassocks.  According to the Hassocks article and the school website, Hassocks/Downlands is in West Sussex . However, the school is listed in Brighton & Hove.  Are there two schools by this name?  — ERcheck (talk) 23:41, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The school is definitely in West Sussex LEA (see ). It appears that this has already been corrected. Tafkam 12:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: It seems that as the list becomes longer it also becomes more varied. I propose a standardised format for each entry. I am aware of the ongong debates of naming conventions for schools, so propose a simple system, based on the fact that the authority already gives some information about the location of the school. I suggest the following:
#Where a school's location and type is obvious, it is simply listed, e.g. Marlow Bottom Primary School
#Where location is not necessarily obvious, it be added as a wikilink, after a comma, e.g. Tree View Primary School, Marlow Bottom
#Where the type is unclear, it be added in brackets, but not as a wikilink, e.g. Marlow Bottom School (primary school)
#Where location and type are unclear, both be added, e.g. Tree View School, Marlow Bottom (primary school)
In addition, I propose the separation of Middle schools from the primary/secondary sectors, as has been done with Isle of Wight schools.
Thirdly, I would like to see some standardised decision as to whether or not schools without wiki entries should have wikilinks. At the moment there is a mix, and I can't decide which is best - wikilinks might encourage folks to write those articles, but the huge number of red links don't look great. Any suggestions on any of these changes? Tafkam 13:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there should be a standardised format and I broadly agree with all your suggestions. I wonder, however, if it might be best to include the location after the school's name in all cases as it might not be clear to someone not familiar with the area that Marlow Bottom for instance is a place name. With a lot of the LEAs the county is not made clear. I wonder if we ought to add a note at the beginning of each LEA which is not named after the county to say that all the schools in, say, Bracknell Forest are within the county of Berkshire. I would personally prefer to keep the use of red links to a minimum. Very few primary schools are likely to be notable enough to merit an article and so perhaps red links should be avoided altogether for primary schools. There might however be a case for red-linking secondary schools and further education establishments. If so, it would help if the links were done properly in accordance with the proposed guideline at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (schools) so that if articles are created the titles follow a consistent format. Further input with the naming guideline would also be appreciated if anyone is brave enough! Dahliarose 20:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Brilliant. I've sorted out Wokingham. I might try and do a few more tomorrow. A pity the Schools Naming Conventions can't be so straightforward! Dahliarose 23:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

text: If we did, then would it make sense to break down special schools too, so that all the categories were similar? ~ Scribble Monkey 14:45, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
