Asfandyar Qureshi is NOT the school's head boy. He is not in a year which qualifies for Headboyship and should therefore not be listed under any position currently shown. Regards 82.36.199.21 (talk) 19:07, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Trivia
[edit]This article is full of superfluous, uninteresting information. Do we really need to know the etiquette in the Upper VI common room? At my school, a custom developed whereby first years had to use the furthest block of the bike sheds, second years the next furthest...and fifth years the nearest. But so what? Who cares? --Timtranslates (talk) 23:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. It's trivial, unencyclopaedic and almost certainly unverifiable. Flapdragon (talk) 07:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Anyone object to the trivia being removed?

Brigadier Harry Butler Hitchens, Headmaster 1947-1963
[edit]I was hoping for some clarification of the circumstances of bachelor Brigadier Hitchens unexpected suicide, which appear to have been suppressed at the time and not mentioned subsequently. There were rumours of an incident in Rugby resulting in a pending court case; and blackmail. 86.187.171.45 (talk) 21:58, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
- I cannot find a mention of Hitchens in the article. You could help by giving your sources for his relevance, 'unexpected suicide', 'suppressed', 'the rumours', 'an incident', 'pending court case' and 'blackmail'. Otherwise this is not a forum.SovalValtos (talk) 23:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
Well, that's the exact point - there is no mention of him in the article. He was the most significant headmaster the school has had, the architect of its post war revival and modern form, and conversion from a grammar school into a Public School. One would have thought his contribution would have been mentioned and his curious death explained86.187.168.63 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:54, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
