No evidence of notability: sources in article are not about the school (and most aren't independent), and I couldn't find good other sources beyond some routine coverage. Fram (talk) 08:24, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I totally agree about the state of sourcing in the article. I couldn't find anything about in a search either. Except a few trivial name drops in news articles. There's nothing that would pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG though. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing suggests or even tries to claim notability of any type or to any degree. The sources only support the statement about the 7DA education system being big, which is hardly relevant. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:02, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- We used to accept that most secondary/high schools were notable, becasue it was difficult to prevent pupils writing about their own school. On that basis the article would survive, but all we have here is a stub saying that it exists!. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a problem with the notability requirements for schools. I've seen notability tags removed purely on the basis of the subject being a secondary school; I've seen the opposite argument, that schools aren't inherently notable and need to satisfy WP:GNG and/or WP:ORG. My reading of WP:NSCHOOL is that the latter is true, but the situation is far from clear, and the guidelines aren't being applied or enforced consistently. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete clearly does not meet any reasonable notability requirements. A few years ago we decided the view that every existing secondary school was notable was created without understanding the truly huge number of secondary schools there are and how truly lacking in sources some are. Nothing justifies keeping this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:31, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of coverage in independent sources and failing my own standards. It's part of a large church network but there's no good target article to which I would merge. Bearian (talk) 21:27, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
