I'll see if we can raise the standard of this article by using structure from more highly graded similar articles. Derbydave (talk) 13:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

August 8 2007: Today an un-sourced remark was added to the bottom of the article about a specific case involving the exclusion of a pupil after a fight. I do not see how this is appropriate for this encyclopaedia article because: 1. the criticism isn't sourced. 2. focussing on one pupil is not informative about the school and its long history and current achievements 3. is probably subjective on the part of the writer and so is inadmisable by Wikipedia. With this in mind I've removed it. Derbydave 18:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Schools project Assessment

This page can be reassessed at the url above. To become a higher rated page it needs to include references. A list of alumni is important too. Help is available. See above again. Victuallers 07:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page was vandalised today with facile remarks about uniform from a current pupil. Fixed immediately by Charlesknight from the AntiVandalism squad. Nice one! Derby Dave 13:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

August 25 - Increased interest (and edits) in the page is gratifying. Don't forget we have an alumni website. Derby Dave 15:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

July 26 - Just been edited by a bot. Took out Title Punctuation in favour of sentence punc ... in a title header! Derby Dave 15:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

July 2006 Somebody has edited the page to say that the school is a Woodard School. This is in fact Derby High School in Derby. I have removed this error. Derby Dave 15:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondered when the school started using red ties for prefects. This wasn't the case in 1981 when I left. Derbydave 09:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Derby-Bury Church Rivalry

Might it be worth noting the intense and occasionally violent rivalry between Derby High School and Bury C of E High School? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.14.48 (talk) 15:48, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that it is intense. There have been occasions when certain pupils of both schools have acted badly but it seems much more like a friendly rivalry. Boico101 (talk) 00:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
