Talk:Landau Forte Academy QEMS

Assessment as of March 2007

Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Stub on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: Needs information more pertinent to an encyclopedia rather than a staff listing Adam McCormick 04:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

New Infobox

I have changed the infobox to a more relevant one.... what do you think? 78.145.112.226 (talk) 16:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC) (06018)

history

have meoved section:

A Short history of Q.E.M.S

Q.E.M.S was founded by Dethel Caulkin in 1577.

At first Q.E.M.S was an institution for Criminal children where they were taught (much their dislike) subjects such as History and Geography. However Dr. Dethel Caulkin thought this was complete nonsense, so he decided that he would only teach the boys Mathematics. Dr. Caulkin went down in History as the saviour as these boys, as when they left the institution they got very important and well paying jobs. One boy, Mr. Jamie Woodhouse, became Mayor of the town of tamworth (where Q.E.M.S is), and he thanked Dr. Caulkin for all the child abuse that led him his way to learn mathematics and become Mayor.

Very droll. QEMS was created in the late 20th century, so where does the above come in, or indeed, the 1588 in the infobox? Jan1naD - (talk) 13:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Requested re-assessment

I've upgraded the article to start class as more content has now been added. Keep up the good work. See if you can add more content, avoid too many lists and try and add some references. Can you get a few pics too? Ask at WP Schools if you need any help. Dahliarose (talk) 08:24, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Specialist status

I think there's been some confusion about the specialist status of the school. All the references indicate that the school only has specialist Music College status. There is no specialism just for ICT. The specialism is for maths and computing. There isn't a combination for music and computing. The school website's ICT page makes mention of the fact that the department has received funding, but this is surely part of the extra money received from the music specialism. There is more information on specialist schools on the Standards Site. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you need to find a proper reference. Dahliarose (talk) 19:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

The IT department are being adamant that there is an IT specialism, though i don't know why. They probably thought that it was something to do with the installation of Music software and also that of PCs in Music Department. I'll leave it off until i can find something ATMarsden^{Talk · {Semi-Retired}} 20:01, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 17 June 2014

Please change the founder of QEMS to Sir William Price because after numerous attempts to vandalize the school Wikipedia page, we have successfully blocked all students editing it from their school user accounts Conna Brown (talk) 10:56, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(e • t • c)} 12:12, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
