Talk:Lists of schools in the United Kingdom

There are over 25000 schools in the UK! Maybe this should be called 'list of famous schools in the united kingdom'. It certainly needs a lot more additions.

It does indeed need some thought, but I was planning to put off putting too much thought into it until later! When the page gets unwieldy, it can be split up, with different pages for different categories of schools, and so on. I don't think that "List of famous schools in the United Kingdom" would work, though, since we can't decide which ones are famous in a NPOV way! We need to get some proper NPOV lists, such as "list of schools in such-and-such a group", and things like that. But since the page is still small, we don't need to worry about it for quite some time. :) -- Oliver P. 01:32 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)

I like lists on Wikipedia, but aren't we going a bit list crazy with this one? do we list just public (ie private) schools? Comprehensives? All Grammar schools? I can see the need for many lists, but I can't see how a list of schools is useful? (Will someone start a list of schools in Vermont? what about Italy? Where will it all end?

Why would you ever want it to end? Susan Mason

I don't fancy a page of [Schools in Wiltshire run by left-handed headmasters] and [religious schools in Northern Alaska run by nuns who wear blue habits]. Or [schools in towns that have names of more than three syllables]. JTD 02:35 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)
