Appears to be a non-notable school. Whilst it is a secondary-level school, it is actually a Special Educational Needs school, which I don't think is granted any kind of automatic notability. What we're therefore left with is a school that appears to fail GNG, as all of its coverage comes from local sources. Searching for "Basingstoke School Plus" doesn't help either.

  • No, it's not a standard school... did you read the nomination at all? All the coverage you added is local or routine (Ofsted), in some cases both. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:44, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except that it is a secondary school (otherwise it wouldn't appear on the DFE tables), and therefore presumed to be notable per WP:NHS. As an aside, though, what other coverage of a school would you expect? Schools don't tend to make national news except in exceptional circumstances. Black Kite (talk) 12:04, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's a SEN school, and the "presumed notable" bit only applies to regular schools. I don't expect any more coverage; that's the whole point, and that's why it fails the notability guidelines. Given that an admin tagged it as failing notability as well... Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:10, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, the admin tagged it when it was a one-line microstub. Anyway, it's a special school, not a SEN school, and we have dozens of articles for those - we even have a category (Category:Special schools in England) with 36 sub-categories. Are all these schools non-notable as well? Black Kite (talk) 12:18, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tagged it, yesterday, I wouldn't tag it today. GB fan 12:21, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's still a secondary school, whether it's special or not. Article had been rewritten by Black Kite to use reliable sources. Only a tiny amount if schools will receive anything more than local news. Ncoat13 (talk) 12:20, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per User:Ncoat13 - It's still a secondary school, whether it's special or not. -

  • Keep - Secondary schools are presumed notable. Not "normal" secondary schools, not "standard" secondary schools, secondary schools. This is a secondary school. Regardless of anything else, that makes it presumed notable. I personally hate that presumption, but it's the presumption that has backing at this time... ~Charmlet -talk- 16:11, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - now an adequately sourced article on an encyclopaedic subject. The Whispering Wind (talk) 18:26, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - secondary schools in general are presumed notable, and in any case has WP:RS now. Ansh666 18:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Any school that is verified to serve secondary education is presumed to be notable. (WP:NHS) Frankly, we shouldn't really concern ourselves with what kind of students enroll here. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 18:56, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Verified secondary school articles are typically covered in the encyclopedia. See WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and Wikipedia:Notability (high schools). Northamerica1000(talk) 12:31, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
