Massive vandalism

This page is experiencing massive vandalism (possibly by only one person, User talk:Mary170/User talk:Mary17 and may need some sort of protection. Ψν^Psi_nu 23:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Categories for discussion: nomination of various 'Former pupils' categories

The 'former pupils' category associated with this school has been nominated for renaming, along with all similar categories. Comments are invited at the categories' entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. Occuli (talk) 15:22, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed new section: Pupil count planning breach and application to expand

Given the contested nature of many recent edits on this page, and the WP:COI and WP:PROMOTION concerns about its current content, I thought it best to set this edit out on Talk rather than just plough straight in under WP:BOLD. I will contact the Wikipedia editor who has most recently been involved with the page to let him know about the suggested edit, and wait for a response before taking any further action.

The suggested text is below. It hopefully meets Wikipedia policy as follows:

WP:V as every statement cites either a recognised news source (the South London Press story linked is currently the top Google result for "Streatham and Clapham High School" under "News"), or Lambeth Council and UK Goverment web pages: in particular, while there is a site marshalling the arguments of objectors at West Streatham Resident, this would appear invalid as a source since it is self-published.
WP:ROC since the issue will be of interest to pretty much anyone either connected directly with the school, or living near to it.

I would also hope that it is sufficiently neutral in tone - I have attempted to limit it to stating facts rather than, for instance, expressing a view on the merits of the application itself - but welcome suggestions for how the text below might be improved in this respect, or indeed any other.

Thanks, West Streatham Resident (talk) 12:22, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pupil count planning breach and application to expand
Since the start of the 2018/19 academic year, the school has been in breach by over 50 pupils of its planning limit of 505: the ultimate resolution of this situation is yet to be decided ^[1]. In July 2019 the school made a planning application to Lambeth Council to expand to 650 pupils ^[2]. This application has run into local opposition, with a large number of objections ^[3].
A final determination of the outcome may be some way off: the Council Planning Application Committee will not consider the application before 15 October 2019 at the earliest ^[4], and if this results in refusal then any subsequent appeal will move resolution back by several months ^[5].
