"It is considered one of the best sixth form colleges in England. Academically it is a very strong school; the students regularly achieve good results and a significant number progress to the most prestigious universities.
It gets about the best A-level results in West Sussex for state-run institutions, with The Weald School, Billingshurst."
This is the kind of fluffy nonsense that gets Wikipedia a bad name.
"It is considered one of the best sixth form colleges in England." By what measure? Evidence?
"Academically it is a very strong school". I repeat. By what measure? Evidence?
And so on.
As for "It gets about the best A-level results in West Sussex", well, does it or doesn't it get the best results? There's no "about" about it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.192.91 ( talk) 19:32, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
An appeal from an Old Collyerian: I’m missing only one headteacher, and three remaining facts to check. Did Derek Slynn take up the post in 1966? It didn’t say in his obit. I recall that Mr.(?) Arnold's first name was David; needs checking. Also, was he a doctor? If so, please amend. Finally, who held the post between D. Arnold and the incumbent?
Interesting that Rev. Alexander Hay, beak from 1700-1706, was a Jacobite, suspected of sheltering Scotsmen after the 1715 rebellion ... -- Wally Tharg ( talk) 19:21, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
A reference from 2015 that shows that Vernon Davies was acting head from 1964 (when I assume Douglas Coulson was suspended for corporal punishment) until Derek Slynn’s permanent appointment in 1966 (?), and thus deserves a mention. If anyone can confirm/amend the exact years, I’d be grateful. -- Wally Tharg ( talk) 15:17, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
I have moved the reference to corporal punishment, and Douglas Coulson’s departure, to a more appropriate place in the article. Again, I would be grateful for any more information on this – I only have one reliable source at present. -- Wally Tharg ( talk) 15:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
