I am assessing this article as Start / Low. Article is quite lengthy but needs work, the main two problems at present are that the article is a) Very promotional, it should be neutral. b) Unreferenced, content should be verified. For B-class the article will need better referencing and be made more neutral, the lead (article introduction) in particular should summarise the article with balance and not read like the start of a leaflet. I am giving the school low importance due to lack of evidence it deserves higher than this, the article makes a few claims which could give it Mid-importance, but lack of sourcing means I cannot really give these much weight. The Ofsted report sourced seems to make claims very different to that of the article e.g. it says "students' attainment is broadly average" and gave the school an overall rating of 3 (satisfactory) on a four point scale of outstanding (1), good (2), satisfactory (3), and unsatisfactory (4). Camaron | Chris (talk) 20:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Ofsted payed another visit to the school in january 2009, when they rated the school grade 1, Outstanding. Plus the school achieved Outstanding results, which the new report does mention. I Have put the logo on now.
The New ofsted report include's " Students make Outstanding personal progress, which is helped by good, if not outstanding teaching". " The school is now very well regared, as it claimed Leading edge status in 2008".
When the report is officialy published i shall post it on the article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Worcsinfo ( talk • contribs)
Please note that removing tags in the article without attempting to resolve the issue they present is not helpful nor will it increase the rating or quality of the article. All three references in the article do not fully verify the text they are citing, for example [1] has no mention of this school in it, so it fails verification. There are many claims in the article which need verification, an easier way of dealing with them is just to remove the claims completely though I would rather avoid that. Please note WP:BURDEN.

I've had a go at tidying this article up. There were a lot of unreferenced claims which I've removed. Such claims really should not be included unless they can be backed up by reliable secondary sources. Some of the claims were also too vague to have any meaning. One claim was that the school is in the "top 5% nationally". You need to say what it is in the top 5% for? The highest truancy or absenteeism rate, A level results, GCSCE results? Was this for just one year or averaged out over many years? Dahliarose ( talk) 14:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
I can find no support for the Leading Edge claim. Neither the Ofsted page for the school nor the Standards Site list this school as having a specialism, so they could hardly be a High Performing Specialist School, which is the entry point for Leading Edge. The Leading Edge site mentions a partnership between Haybridge High School and Baxter College, but not this school. A rating of Satisfactory in the latest Ofsted inspection raises more doubts.

Most school articles include a basic description of the campus, and much more. One way to expand a school article is to take a look at the more informative articles of some of the other schools in Worcestershire and see the kind of information they include. A Wikipedeia article would be an excellent project for a group of alumni or senior students and regular Wiki editors are always on hand to help.-- Kudpung ( talk) 07:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
There appears to be a discrepancy between the information in the Bewdley School article and the November 2008 Ofsted report to the extent that the article and the report do not refer to the same schools. Moreover, in an article about Heathfield School, Wolverley it is claimed that it merged with Bewdley. However, a website exists for a Heathfield school in Wolverly about an independent school. Very little online information exists about this school. There is clearly some confusion concerning these two schools and their affiliation.-- Kudpung ( talk) 16:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
The Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre has its origins in the Bewdley County Secondary School which opened in April 1955. In 1972 the area adopted a three-tier system, and the school became Bewdley High School. When the area returned to a two-tier system in 2007, the high and middle schools were merged into a new entity, the Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre, with Mrs Reilly as new headteacher.
Why are people deleting all the right information?? This article has been filled with out of fate facts for ages and as soon as somebody tries to update it, It gets deleted making the bewdley schools wiki file pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sally688 ( talk • contribs) 13:38, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
The Logo I have uploaded is the schools official emblem as is available on the prospectus, available for download on the school website.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.146.26 ( talk)
Upon review of the prospectus, it is clear this logo was taken from there and is copyrighted, so should not be on Commons, hence I'm nominating it for speedy deletion. CT Cooper · talk 20:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
... May I ask if your from the UK? as the logo is property of Worcestershire County Council it is copy right free. Bewdley is a government funded school and there for all images owned or featured by or with the school or county council is copy right free.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.146.26 ( talk)
I have removed 6 recent edits by an IP user. There is too much emphasis on results and peacock terms extolling the virtues of this school. The Wikipedia is not a school promotion site. Please discuss on this talk page before adding any further information about the performance of this establishment. A consensus will decide what is to be inserted.-- Kudpung ( talk) 17:43, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
Providing nobody now disrupts this article, I'm satisfied the information on here is accurate. Im keeping a close eye on this one looking at the history of disruptive edits. As for the 09 OFSTED Report there is No evidence to suggest there has been one. How ever reading the schools newsletter online there has recently been another so I will update this article when appropriate May I also ask the "unsigned" person below to stop purposefully adding incorrect information. It took a lot of work to find everthing to back up the now accurate points! . -- Wonderfull778 ( talk) 23:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
In the UK, Schools release their GCSE and A-Level results on a yearly basis which provide an accurate picture of performance. Just because this school has released the best results does not mean they are promotional. I would ask that the disruption on this page is terminated or I think it would be necessary to investigate the motive behind the disruptive edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonderfull778 ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

This article has been subject to persistent promotional edits for over a decade. We will continue to revert any edits that are an attempt to promote this school or enhance the SEO of the Wikipedia article. Thank you for your comprehension. If the long term abuse continues, the article will be protected so that only administrators can edit it. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 02:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
I noticed that Kudpung Fully Protected the page, I do agree that a decade of promotion and SEO attempts is not good. But normaly the first thing would be to do either Pending Changes Protection, Extened Confirmed Protection, or Semi Protection. Can you explain your reasoning for going straight to Full?
