message: Note on vandalism:
As a pupil of the school i felt like i should let someone know that the reason the page suffers so much vandalism is that pupils are irritated by the fact that the school's IT department are using this page as a blatant advert for the school. For example, the article notes that there are boys and girls changing rooms, complete with showers on site: any member of the school knows that the on site changing facilities are terrible, the girl's room has a broken lock, while the boy's room's door doesn't shut properly, has poor quality open showers that are never used and is frequently passed through by (female) cleaning staff to get to their supply closet.
Although i don't have a wiki account the article clearly is not neutral point of veiw and is being used as an advert for the school.
Half of this article sounds like an advert for the school to me
That's because it basically is! As another pupil at the school, the sport facilities are not half as good as the article lists - although the info about Castle Dyke is now an accurate representation of what the facilities are like.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.9.145 (talk) 20:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello
I'm a pupil of the school, and I just want to point out that Birkdale school is an INDEPENTENT school, not public. It's a private school. Please change it back to indepentent, as I did edit it once  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.203.234.119 (talk) 20:03, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A grammar school is quite different from a 'public school'. See eg Public schools guide where you will find Birkdale. If there are cited sources for anything at Castle Dyke, eg from the Star, by all means add them. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 17:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Bruce Dickinson was a pupil at Birkdale School, however he was expelled. This does not mean he should not appear on the page, simply because the school don't want to associate with him. This page is about facts - not the school's advertising slant. This point is not up for discussion, if he is removed he will be re-added. Private businesses should not be able to shape their Wikipedia article to suit their marketing scheme.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.134.194 (talk) 15:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: This article still reads like an advert for the school. I am aware the school itself is involved with this - either a rewrite and protection or deletion may be suitable? Stoats (talk) 16:36, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
