Talk:Lists of schools in the United Kingdom

message: I have just spent 4 hours recategorising the schools... as I may be posting this message in several locations could read my "mini-project" page User:GregRobson/Schools. Thanks in advance. GregRobson 00:09, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major tidyup started - can always do with a spare pair of hands 

message: I'm just wondering what can be included on this list. Is it just for education establishments for people from the ages 5 to 18? Otr can we include separate sixth form colleges, adult education colleges, other types of college, universities, nursery school etc? As many of these types of establishments would cater for people of similar ages as schools on the list.
For example, if we weren't going to include separate nursery school we'd still have some on the list when the are part of other primary school. The same can be said for Sixth form colleges. If we didn't include them, the list would only be partially completed for education establishments for 16+ (only those Sixth forms which are part of secondary schools being included).
So, I just think it might be a good idea to set boundaries on what types of institutions are classed as school in this case. Evil Eye 20:52, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  What makes a school a school? 

message: I live in Barking and Dagenham, and i dont think that you had it down on the list of school sections. I went to add the schools i know, but there are over 50 and i saw that the other boroughs didnt have that many. I didnt want to go ahead and put these on, as you may delete it because of the excessive length. Is it o.k if i add these schools? Becasue there are quite alot... 
There are also alot of schools who are either just infants, juniors or overall primary schools, as well as a number of specialist schools. How should i list these? - Bourbons3 21:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The link to "Boston College" in this list goes to the American college of the same name, which is clearly incorrect. I haven't removed the link because that's obviously not the solution. Something needs to be done at Boston College. Its website is here. SMeeds 09:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Scottish independent schools

message: Where are all the counties from North East England in the list? OK, there is North Yorkshire and Cumbria (usually lumped in with the NE) but what about T+W, Northumberland, Durham or Teeside? Considering that two of the best comprehensive schools are located in Gateshead, I find this rather strange. Perhaps this is all a ploy by our southern masters to indicate we don't have schools "oop north". I'd do the list myself but I can't be bothered, not for such a pointless article. I'll do a few for Gateshead. hedpeguyuk 15:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

message: St Mark's Primary, Parkhead or Shettleston?  Wellshot Primary, Shettleston or Tollcross?  Thanks Samantha of Cardyke 11:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: City of Glasgow - checks

message: Please start voting now. A similar split of List of hospitals in the United Kingdom was very helpful. Thanks. Samantha of Cardyke 11:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd agree with that as the article has become very large and hard to use. I'd also at the same time argue for a reordering of the England sections to split the country up into regions (the same ones as used in many places: London, South East, South West, Yorkshire and the Humber etc and then by LEA within each of these regions.

text: Since there are many more schools in England than hospitals, it may actually be wise to split the England article up into several lists for the regions (the regions as detailed here). I've had a go at the Yorkshire and the Humber region. I gathered all the schools together I could find in the main list and put them alphabetically under their LEA. Here is the link to my user space page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evil_Eye/Yorkshire_and_the_Humber_Schools What do you think? Could we do separate pages like this for the 9 regions of England as well as separate lists for Scotland, Wales and NI? As you can se, the list for Yorkshire is already very large, but is also clearly very incomplete. Having more complete lists for the whole of England altogether would create a list bigger than the full one we have already.Evil Eye 13:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now split the list by country (though the lists for Wales and Northern Ireland are still blank). Further splits within countries welcome. Samantha of Cardyke 12:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split by country?

message: The list general seems to be split by LEA, but how do independent schools fit into this? Do they get places with the LEA they are part of or in a separate list? The current way seems to be to place then in the LEA they fall into. I'm really asking this question as I'm forming a break away list for the Yorkshire and Humber region and am considering a separate section for independent schools at the end of the main list.
