[edit] March 2007 V2
Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and, as it has recently been editted, then I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of start on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Mid on this importance scale.
My reasoning is as follows: This article is about an old school c 970 BC. However the start article could still do with some refs, but the fact that Edward the Confessor (king) went here is impressive Victuallers 21:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmm.... I'm trying to find a source for this claim. A British King attending school is a very modern thing (I'm pretty sure Prince Charles was the first, in fact. I believe, if anything Edward was educated at the old Abbey that predated the school. However, there seems to be an irritating habit on Wikipedia of people claiming that famous people were educated at their school, if the person happened to be educated at some older institution that was on the same grounds and sometimes merely on a nearby ground. I think having Edward as an almnus of this school is simply misleading and should be removed. However, until I get some feedback on this, I will simply add a note on this.
further edit: As I thought, a bit of checking on the net and of course Edward was educated at Ely Cathedral that, while it "has strong links" with the school is not the same thing as the school.

The page is in need of an expansion, so I have marked it as such. There have also been certain cases of vandalism as is expected from a school page. Over the next few weeks I will be expanding it in general, as well as my research partner. However, other more expert information would be appreciated by people with knowledge of previous students of note or of the schools history. (ResearchUK 19:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC))
Stuff to be added:
- houses.
- Architecture.
- 2XVISION copyright held photos.
- other bits that i have marked as stub areas.
