Hi. Your recent move of this article doesn't seem to be supported by the official record unless the school URN is wrong. Is this something someone at the school decided without telling the authorities?

The name has certainly changed,[2], but they may well have not got round to updating the government record. All part of a, misguided in my view, marketing campaign to create a “Haberdashers Monmouth Schools” brand. Robert Glover will be turning in his grave. When I went for my interview, my father called it MSfB, and was witheringly told that the name was Monmouth School. KJP1 (talk) 18:54, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Who decides the name, the school or the govt? Does a name change on a school's own website trump the official name?

I think the Haberdashers’ Company, which owns the school, could call it Lalaland if it so chose. But they choose to call it MSfB, [3]. I note the Gov.UK website entry hasn’t been updated since March 2017 - which predates the 2018 name change. It is entirely possible that the school has notified the DfE and that it is the government website which is at fault, having not been updated to reflect the change of name. Either way, and irrespective of our personal views, which, in my case, is that the historic name should have been retained, I think we need to reflect the current, sourced, position.

The government schools database is updated daily. The sources are in conflict. There is an official source and a self-referenced source.

First, perhaps lighten up a little? We're just two editors having a discussion, it's not Perry Mason. Second, while the GovUK website may make daily updates, it clearly states it hasn't updated this page [4] since 2017, which predates the name change. Third, there are multiple independent sources that reference the new name, such as [5], [6], [7], [8] and [9]. Of course many, the majority, don't as the original title's been used for four hundred and four years and the new title for two. But MSfB clearly is its name in 2020, and I think the page move to reflect that was the right call - even though I personally preferred the old title. KJP1 (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The points in my previous contribution still stands. If the Monmouth School entry hasnt been updated since 2017, then that will be because the school hasn’t submitted any updates since then. Its down to the school to submit changes. If they cant be arsed doing so, thats their problem. Shows a distinct lack of respect I’d suggest. If you wish to provide alternative references to support the move, then thats great.
