Hopefully, this will be merged back into the article soon. --Joshua Issac (talk) 23:19, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I am restoring the list because the entries have references which prove notability, so there is no need for them to have an article. Lists are not always made of blue links (see Wikipedia:Village pump) --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I contributed a couple of names to the original list and found the refs - however I haven't found any refs for the any of the footballers, so maybe they should be deleted? Violetbeau (talk) 00:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

The article currently violates WP:NPOV, and also has not been updated to refer to the 2009 Ofsted. Finally it's corporate tone to me suggests it may have been written by someone involved with the school. 86.154.99.82 (talk) 21:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Changes - removal of Administration section

The Administration section has been deleted as it served no purpose, giving only the name of the Head teacher which is already available on the page, and information from Ofsted which is available in the Ofsted section. Other school entries do not appear to have Administration sections in their wiki entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tristanashman (talk • contribs) 16:28, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Oswald Boatang OBE (tailor/fashion designer/film director) also went to HW.
