This article was already tagged by another editor, and I have highlighted exactly why. On reflection, it does appear to read like something straight out of a school brochure, without any attempt at providing references. For example, if the Ofstead report is so good, why isn't it cited? - it's really easy enough. The article may need substantially neutralising to conform strictly to Wikipedia policy.--Kudpung (talk) 08:27, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the tagging and polite messages to the article creator(s), there have been no atempts to address the issues so i have moved most of the offending items to here and demoted the article to stub class:

The school has a great tradition of athletic and sporting success. Drama is very strong in the school, both in the high quality of productions and the excellence of results. Music is also flourishing with a woodwind ensemble, windband and large choir. There are exchange links with France and Spain. Parties regularly travel abroad for study visits, along with skiing, hockey and soccer trips.
The School's results in KS3 Tests are well above national average. Over the past 5 years examination results at GCSE have risen steadily to match national averages. In 2002 45% of students obtained 5 or more A*-C grades, 92% 5 or more A*-G grades and 99% 1 or more A*-G grades. The School's Sixth Form continues to expand steadily and over the past 3 years we have averaged a pass rate of over 90% at A-Level and an average points score of 15.7. The School is very enthusiastic about encouraging its pupils to take part in public examinations.
