With regard to the year girls were first accepted, I seem to recall it was 1967.Heraldic 15:02, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Reversions to this page

@John from Idegon: Hi John, I've noticed that you have reverted several of my edits on this page, and just wanted a bit more information as to why that's happened. I'm trying to make sure that I add cited information to the page, and was wondering why you considered some of the information I added as not relevant? I'd appreciate your insight. Thanks!

It isn't up to me to justify to you why your new additions are not acceptable. It is up to you to justify to the Wikipedia community why they are. Keep a couple things in mind when attempting to do that. The article in question here is not the school's page on Wikipedia; rather, it is Wikipedia's encyclopedia article on the school. It isn't in any way controlled by the school, nor is it for the school's benefit. This is not the place to record minor events that are of no interest outside the community. It is not the place to record people's names just because the school has deemed them important. Really there shouldn't be anything in the article that cannot be sourced to a reliable source outside the community. The fact that you have some local independent sources for some info does not guarantee inclusion. The material you are adding must serve to significantly increase the knowledge of a person reading the article that has no knowledge of it at all. Seriously do you honestly believe anyone outside the town cares that the school hosted a conference in 2014? It isn't important to the target audience. This isn't some souped - up social media.

Muster Roll

I have obtained a copy of Malden, Henry C. (1902). Muster Roll. Windlesham House, Brighton. A.D. 1837 to 1902 (2nd ed.). Brighton: H. & C. Treacher. which lists the first 1000 or so pupils of the school with mini-biographies (up to 1902) which has enabled me to trace a number of prominent former pupils. To define notability I am using the premise of "has a Wikipedia page" although I have added H.C. Malden (the author) who does not as he was instrumental in standardising the laws of association football about which there is plenty of discussion in other fora. He probably ought to have a page of his own.--TomboPC (talk) 13:35, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have now obtained a later copy of the same work (but edited by G. Herbert Wilson) with pupil biographies up to 1937.TomboPC (talk) 01:04, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
