Talk:Oxford High School, England

message: Speaking as a pupil of oxford high school I would like to express my opinion on this matter . I feel that Oxford High School is an unique and wonderful school where there is not pressure on the pupils as such but the teachers push the pupils to their limits to enable that the pupils fufill their full potential in life . I would also like to say the the percentage of pupils attending Oxford High School is very much lower than the percantage at Headington School .
As a pupil for almost nine years, I agree that the school is highly competetive, highly academic and not always a very fun place to be because of that. However, I wouldn't say that the school's atmosphere is actually "oppresive and threatening", and more to the point that is not factual, so I have removed that and rewritten the addition of information about the Freud case in a more balanced way. 
I have also heard mental health workers make the accusations (mentioned in the 5th May edit) that the school has an unusually high rate of eating disorders, but I do not believe they are statistically supported- indeed, I would be surprised if we had a higher rate of eating disorders than, for example, Headington School. The school's atmosphere isn't entirely the fault of the school- it's pushy parents that send their children there and pushy parents that make their children overcompetetive and anorexic.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.93.21.70 (talk • contribs) .
I'm concerned about the lack of evidence for some of the claims being made in this article - if those who made them could post links or cite sources for their claims, even if only on the discussion page here, then we can cite them properly in the article - however, if these claims do not have any evidence to support them they will need to be removed.

I am wary about quoting the school fees in the article because these vary depending on the age of the student- junior, senior and sixth-form fees are all different. It would be good to note that OHS fees are relatively low compared to similar schools, although I don't know what could be used as verification for this. BeehiveC 19:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This page states that the junior section opened in 1989. This is misleading or possibly untrue. I attended the school from 1972-1979 and during that time there was a 2 year junior section but some of my cohort at the school had attended the junior section from a younger age, as I recall. Maybe the junior section then closed and re-opened in 1989?
Also I note that Ghislaine Maxwell’s Wikipedia page says that she attended OHS until age 9 so she must have been in the junior section at that time.
