Obviously wrong architects
[edit]The article said that the Embankment building was "... designed by Davis and Emanuel Pevsner and constructed by John Mowlem & Co...".
This seems to have been inaccurately 'borrowed' from the School's website 'History' page, which actually says: "... designed by Davis and Emanuel. Pevsner described the façade of the magnificent hall as...".

The original building at Milk Street was designed by architect J.B. Bunning, who was... an Old Citizen of the school.
[edit]How is this possible? Where was the school before the first building? Was Bunning a first year at the time and designed a building for his school it in Art class? Romomusicfan (talk) 13:10, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
GA concerns
[edit]I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:
- There is a lot of uncited text throughout the article.
- I do not think the "Headmasters" section is necessary for the article: if these events are notable, they can be included in the "History" section
- The "History" section stops at 1986: are there any notable current events to include?
- The article has lots of short, one sentence paragraphs, particularily in the "Notable people" section. These should be merged together.
Is anyone interested in fixing up this article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 05:20, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
