I removed the following:

"Even Know the School Name is "The John Roan School" The School was Incorperated into an City Academy in 2008, There is no Plans to Change the Name."

If true, this deserves to be better written. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 09:17, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I go to the school. It is NOT an academy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.62.190 (talk) 11:25, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of alumni listed who have neither an article about them nor a reference to support their attendance. It's arguable that anybody without an article isn't

Before I go through and do a wholesale delete of unlinked and unreferenced names, is there a "famous alumni" page on the school's site that will back those names up? —C.Fred (talk) 16:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable former pupils

I have deleted all the non-notable people previously listed on the main space article (ie: those without separate articles). Some of these may well be notable, but nobody's got round to writing their article yet - hence keeping their details here....Paul W (talk) 17:40, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
