Talk:Dean Close School

message: I find the section on the Houses inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Copy like this would be fitting for the Student Paper/Magazine (Decus, does it still exist?), but witty (or juvenile?) references to animal species or male entertainment have no place here.

message: Do we have a source that Dean Close was the model for Jilly Cooper's novel "Wicked"? I haven't read it, but it looks as though it could be based on any public school. I know Jilly Cooper lives in Gloucestershire, but there are several public schools within throwing distance of her home.Cravenmonket 16:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jilly Cooper 

message: Anecdotal so I can't source it, but provide it here for others' interest. Francis Bacon loathed the school so much that he ran away. He was still alive by the school's centenary in 1986 and the school approached him to ask if he would like to donate to the centenary fundraising effort. Apparently he told them to fuck off. 220.240.100.108 (talk) 12:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Francis Bacon

message: Start class, good alumni and history sections. Needs external sources, to get to B Class, and info on any of the special programs the school runs. Low importance, little here asserting any sort of notability.
::I have re-assessed this school as (Start/mid). You have a middling size list of alumni including some notable names such as Francis Bacon and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. The fact that Jilly Cooper's novel Wicked was also supposedly based on the school confers some importance. The alumni and claims need to be referenced to keep the mid importance rating. More content and lots of references needed to advance to B class. Dahliarose 11:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Assessment 

message: Bear with me I am new to contributing on wikiapedia
The sections at the bottom of the page list the school as being a senior school while this is true for in the information on the page. There is DCPS the prep school which by by reckoning would place the school in the all ages section. Although for this to happen there needs to be something written about the prep school.91.110.141.182 (talk) 17:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
