Article was prodded. I removed it preferring to bring it here for discussion. Things I have seen on other pages have led me to believe schools have more leeway when it comes to notability. I would rather it be discussed here and left to the community to decide if the article should be kept or deleted. Postcard Cathy (talk) 16:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: it's a high school, and conventionally such schools are considered notable per WP:NHS. PamD 17:13, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - High schools are notable per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. –Davey2010^Talk 18:29, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The school is not really notable because the school is not in the news at all, the only page sources are the school website, and the most one can write about Pimley school would still be a stub. Since it could only be a stub, why not just create a page about Ermine (organization), which owns the school, and then put the date on Pimley school and the other Ermine schools there?

Since when does something need to be in the news to be notable? The media does not cover every story out there for a variety of editorial reasons. On top of that, IMHO, schools are extremely important because your future as well as mine depends on an educating today's children. Postcard Cathy (talk) 16:49, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a secondary school per longstanding consensus and precedent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 18:45, 4 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's nothing wrong with stubs, and in some cases there turns out to be sufficient content for a high school article to go beyond that. It might indeed be reasonable to write an article on the company that owns it. DGG ( talk ) 03:45, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Their website indicates ages 4-15, which isn't a secondary school so far as I am aware. Redirect if possible. Carrite (talk) 06:06, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Carrite. Whether or not the school is a secondary school or not is irrelevant (BTW, it sounds like it is a combined elementary and secondary school since secondary schools include junior highs) since the text can always be edited to reflect that. What matters is whether or not the school itself is wiki worthy, regardless of the ages of the students. Postcard Cathy (talk) 16:45, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They educate to O level, which is the school leaving qualification under the British system. It is therefore very definitely a secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:01, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
