I wondered whether anyone would have written a page about this, my old school. I am glad that they have. When I get around to it, I will add some more (factual) information. - Ross
So the current text implies that its current location is not the original one - anyone got any details about the other location(s) the school has occupied? -- Ewx 12:26, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
Image:Bournemouthcoatofarms.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

In the main entry the following phrase is used: '"Bournemouth School for Boys" is the ignorant man's term for the school,' however I think that's a bit harsh. I attended the school for five years in the 80's and referred to it as Bournemouth School for Boys. Indeed, my CV still states that I attended 'Bournemouth Grammar School for Boys', a deliberate error which has only ever been picked-up by former pupils, or potential employers who happen to be the parents of present/ former pupils. Different generations will know it as different things and also, people will always abbreviate or even embellish such names to be more descriptive or easier to say. After all, my CV description reveals the status of the school without any supplementary wording or explanation. If the phrase in question has to remain, I feel that it should say something like: "Bournemouth School for Boys" is the uniformed person's term for the school. Even so, the fact that so many people believe the school is known as that, doesn't necessarily mean there's lots of ignorant people out there. It's merely a more descriptive way of referring to it, even if it's not the actual given name of the school. Jaydash 15:22, 25 September 2007
The headmaster, Mr J Granger prefers the school to be called Bournemouth School. This name has been adopted by all references within Ofsted and DfES. 04nunhucks 20:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't know why Mr. Pyke is repeatedly being overlooked in deputy head edits. Incidently there is a difference between deputy and assistant heads anyway. ~ Scott
The senior prefect team has been on the pages for years, why is it being taken off!!???! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 2007G ( talk • contribs) 06:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Ladies/gentlemen please do not keep on reverting each other, you need to discuss the issue and come to an agreed conclusion on the state of the article. Also you should be aware of the policies over living people as quoted by one party that must be adhered to. Thank you. Keith D ( talk) 19:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi all.
Just like to raise dispute with "with many teachers always willing to give as much help as possible to the related students" as there are a number of pupils who do believe otherwise (and some have left as a result in the past mid way through years 7 to 11". That be all. Tubechallenger ( talk) 14:07, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Well now that this is resolved - i'll remove the warning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielchatfield ( talk • contribs) 19:48, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
Since the government have reformed specialist statuses in schools and colleges, Bournemouth School NO LONGER holds language college status. It does, however, remain a selective grammar school. On this basis, should the section on the article regarding "Specialist Language College" be removed? Thanks, Loopylew672 ( talk) 16:26, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
Quite how notable someone has to be is up for debate, however to be included a source must be cited which states that they did attend the school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielchatfield ( talk • contribs) 23:41, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

This article is flagged as needing better verification. I went through and removed a whole lot of unsourced stuff, but was reverted by User:GoldMiner24. I'm assuming this was a mistake. Also, per WP:NPOV we can report negative as well as positive things about alumni. Anyway, this is the best place to discuss this. Wubslin ( talk) 16:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
