Tentative Keep This outcome would be consistent with the de facto notability standard and AFD practice of keeping articles about legitimate secondary schools. This school's website says it includes a secondary division as well as primary, and reportedly has 350 students. Since it was started in 2003, the "only recently opened" basis for deletion stated by the nominator makes little sense. Certainly it needs more and better sources and editing. The search button at the top of this AFD reveals some news coverage: brief mention of academic excellence, this site calls it a primary school with pupils through age 16, but may be outdated. Age 16 would normally be past primary, and at least "middle school," but would not be as convincing it should be kept. Perhaps someone in the UK can access better sourcing on its grades taught at present. Schools often start with primary grades and expand the grades taught as the population ages.

Possible keep -- I would like to get a better feel for its size. If it teaches up to 16, it qualifies as a High School, whose articles we normally keep. If it started with four pupils, I just wonder whether it now only has (say) 100, in which case I would doubt its notability. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:59, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Verified secondary school, which are usually kept. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:32, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Verified secondary school educating to GCE. Fully recognised by UK government. Needs a lot of expansion though, including infobox, crest, and links. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:58, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
