Assessment as of March 2007[edit]

Hello all, and thank you for contributing to this school site. I'm part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Assessment team, and I'm reviewing this page. I'm currently giving it a grade of Stub on the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and an importance of Low on this importance scale.

My reasoning is as follows: Only a couple sentences. Needs lots more referenced material, pictures, etc.... Adam McCormick 04:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pioneer of women's education[edit]

With royal patronage, which continues to the present day, it transformed the lives of women, opening doors into the professions and nurturing generations of pioneering and independent women. In 1853 the College was granted a royal charter, the first charter granted by an English sovereign for the furtherance of women’s education. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.50.163 (talk) 13:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Wintour - Old Queen ?[edit]

Remove Anna Wintour as an Alumna(nus?) after receiving the below; can be reinstated if a reliable citation can be foundGrahamHardy (talk) 17:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know she's claimed as an alumna in the Queen's College article, but do you have a source for this? (It doesn't, and this article is ten years old, and has some other errors.). Because I pretty thoroughly researched her, and Jerry Oppenheimer's unauthorized biography, the only decent source for her early life, is pretty explicit that she attended only North London Collegiate and went to work in fashion before she was even twenty. I have come across nothing suggesting she went to Queen's (she worked at Harper's & Queen briefly, which may have caused the confusion). Daniel Case (talk) 16:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Anne Wintour's entry in Who's Who (2009) lists both schools, Queen's College and North London Collegiate. Judging by the dates given originally, 1960-1963, she seems to have gone to Queen's from age 10 to 13. Cjc13 (talk) 13:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dates[edit]

‘In 2002, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother opened Queen's College Preparatory School at 61 Portland Place.’

On her own wiki page, it says she died on 30 March 2002, having suffered from a cold for the last four months of her life. Are you sure she was still performing public functions in that year? Valetude (talk) 10:35, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
