Alumnus in Latin means a pupil or foster-child. There will be several thousands of ex-pupils of Accrington High School for Girls and Moorhead Sports College. Should an author declare a motive when listing only five alumni? Should permission be sought from alumni before their names are listed? Try, perhaps Notable Alumni, Prominent Alumni, Distinguished Alumni...

Thanks for your prompt response. I had no evidence of your thought until you wrote about it here.

Wikipedia carries a category link to Mathematics and Computing Colleges in England, and Accrington Academy is listed there. The Accrington Academy article says that the academy has designated specialisms in Sports and Mathematics but does not claim special status in Mathematics and Computing. A link at DCSF took me to a list of specialist schools dated 2006. I wonder whether or not the academy is a Mathematics and Computing College, and if the difference is important enough to be worth resolving.

Although the alumni section is indeed headed Notable Alumni I remain in favour of including Notable or some alternative to begin the body text because I fear that Wikipedia articles suffer from selective quotation.
If words fail us when discussing elementary courtesy then the failure is more than one of words. I regret that I have found no time to read the advertised guidelines - and I understand that this may by itself condemn me as silly - but I would expect that standard practice would include advance notification of personal details appearing in a world-spanning medium, even though previous agreement exists. Is the agreement contemplation-stable? An alumnus who agreed to publication may later reconsider and change hir [his/her] view.
