I believe it would benefiting if we put in more titles such as extra curricular activities —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.134.72 ( talk) 18:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
To right maybe even a page on pupil achievments because i knew this fellow who broke a math record recently from the school —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.11.134.72 ( talk) 18:38, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Did a wee bit on facilities and equipment, will finish soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.14.145.34 ( talk) 18:12, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Added a number of pictures -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 04:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
OK added 3 citations for the school being in the BBC show, including a youtube video which clearly shows one of the maths classrooms used in a sketch OrangeM16 ( talk) 13:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
seeing as I'm a pupil at the school, I can verify that this video clearly shows one of our maths classrooms. The twitter feed is that of Tommy Reilly who went to the school also. This is a minor article on my local school, and there are no bloody perfect sources which say the school was used in Burnistoun - but go and watch the series and its in it. Are you a pupil/former pupil? I suggest you calm down a bit.
I understand wikipedia has to keep to certain standards, but this is ridiculous -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 17:36, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Update: added a youtube video which clearly shows exterior of school at 23:53. If this doesn't count then I don't know what does. Clear proof that the school was used in Burnistoun. I'll be quite miffed if you remove this escapeorbit -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 19:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
I have read WP:YOUTUBE and accept why you've removed the citation. I'll try and find a verifiable, reliable source, though I highly doubt there is one which will meet such standards. It seems wrong to remove a truth about the school just because it doesn't say explicitly anywhere on a news site/school site/ED council site 'BOCLAIR ACADEMY WAS USED IN BURNISTOUN' -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 22:30, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Don't know if this changes anything but added the episode's details to the bibliograhy section at bottom. -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 03:00, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
I have done a number of edits which show up on the history page, some are major but lots are minor tweaks (I apologise for not labelling them as such) -- OrangeM16 ( talk) 21:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
made a request here Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Assessment to have the article assessed as it has been significantly developed. Awaiting assessment with anticipation! I hope we're no longer a stub!
I am assessing this article after a request made here. This article is now substantially improved versus Stub class with generally expanded content and some referencing and I am therfore assessing this article as Start/Low, although in my opinion it is very close to C-class if the referencing (explained below) is improved. What has prevented this article from attaining a higher class is the almost total reliance on one first party source for referencing i.e. the school website, the article will need to rely much more extensively on external 3rd party sources if it were to attain a higher class. The article also contains a number of trivialities that may only be of interest to those connected with the school. I have removed the school values & vision section as this comes across as advertising and falls foul of WP:NOTADVERT. The article structure also needs some work, some suggestions of and "ideal" layout and sections may be found here. If you need any more guidance/contest this assessment, please leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Glanis Talk 08:50, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
I removed these two sections for the following reasons:
"English The English department in Boclair runs its own student help website called www.edrez.co.uk which is used along with class learning to aid students of all ages outside school time with essays and other tasks."
