Talk:The King's (The Cathedral) School

message: Have reinstated the earlier edits (28.09.07) because they were more accurate and in line with encyclopaedic style. The claim about the school being rated the '6th highest achieving school in the UK is unsubstantiated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.206.175 (talk) 22:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately you don't count as a reliable source in Wikipedia terms, was it reported in the local paper at the time, or is therean online catalogue etc which shows that school holds the copy?  David Underdown 14:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this school an independent school or a state comp ? The article is confusing, and their website unclear.--jrleighton 16:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The perception of snobbery is just that - a perception.  Unless there is some verification, the statement shouldn't be there at all.  Likewise, the alleged paedophilia should not make an appearance in the article without a reference.  See Wikipedia:Verifiability. ... discospinster 15:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I go to the school, so I know that there is snobbery within it.  I can't think of any more worthwhile reference, if I'm totally honest.  Both of the paedophiles admitted to their crimes - "Link broken" and this article on the guy who had sex with his son's girlfriend.  Will those do for references?

text: Links for article relating to T Coldwell changed to one that works.
it's not a state comprehensive, its a 'Voluntary Aided Church of England comprehensive secondary school', this is stated on the schools website, but i didn't know if this was 'proof' enough to alter the article http://www.kings.peterborough.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?section=The+School%27s+History&sid=7 Delriogw (talk) 22:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm just going to go ahead and do a cleanup on this whole article. I don't really know anything about it, so others are going to have to fill in the gaps. — ßottesiηi (talk) 21:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well there's not really enough information for an infobox, so I'll just do some wikification. — ßottesiηi (talk) 21:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Doesn't the former boarding house deserve some mention?  It's pretty unusual for a UK state-funded school to have had provision for boarders. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by David Underdown (talk • contribs) 14:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The History section isnt exactly the history of the school more a general overview so that needs changing. Most of the information could either be accomodated in existed sections or new ones. Warriorofrovac 21:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it worth a mention that the sixth form recently recieved a poor ofsted report, just to mention that it isnot considered up to the high standards of the rest of the school or something? cos i think this is an imoirtant aspect, and at the moment this just reads like a fan page (can schools have fan pages? never mind) cos theres just no bad points mentioned at all. not sure how to ref an ofsted report, though  Jackc5755 (talk) 21:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Just add this link . Note that it says the sixth form is "good", and is generally positive, so you might have to include at least some praise to remain neutral. -- zzuuzz (talk) 21:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The page seems more like a brochure rather than an objective Wikipedia article.  I have effected a number of edits and prunings, but the page still includes superfluous detail that ought to be edited or excised. Arrivisto (talk) 20:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
