as a separate entity. I agree it would be useful if wikipedia could be a resource to help parents in big cities identify choices for their children to take A levels. I just think that would be a nice bonus but it would be secondary to being an encyclopedia. Somebody could do a real service by coming up with a way of categorising the sixth form providers for each area big enough to have choices of A level provision. Iām not sure Iām up to it, but if you want to make such a category (or can suggest it to someone else), then good luck.

the school grounds, accept children from other secondary schools in the area, have dedicated tutoring staff and have the title "Sixth Form
College" over the door. Where does this mass catagory change leave them? What do you have planned to replace the removed catagory? (Please answer here as it is making the conversation difficult to follow by jumping around several other talk pages)

As per your examples - many schools call their 6th form departments 'colleges' and yes, even house them in separate buildings etc. However, what ever they call their 6th forms, they are still part of the school, directly managed by the school governors and administration, and receive funding from the
528:
I assume these sweeping changes have been discussed in depth somewhere with the other educational editors? What about the growing number of sixth form colleges that, although they may be attached to a school and started life only servicing students from that school, now have new separate buildings on
726:
Stick by your guns, youāre doing good work; the schools sixth form sector is a separate and colossal area which needs someone with tons of time as there will be thousands of such schools. On the other hand there are only about 200 FE colleges and 100 sixth Form colleges and they could be dealt with
623:
No I didn't. I didn't think it would be that controversial. To be honest though, Knowledge (XXG) is not a 'guide', parents should have the sense to know that schools in a local area have 6th form departments. Most LEA's do have guides on-line for 16+ education choices. this is not wikipedia's job.
552:
proper, are not funded by any local LEA, they are independent insititutions who receive their funding directly from the
Education and Skills council. I have never thought of these category changes as contraversial OR sweeping. I am only changing categories in line with what wikipeida articles say.
606:
Well firstly I simply do not have the time to devote to it ... the task will be monumental ... creating a master cat, then a sub-cat for each LEA, then re-adding every school with a 6th form to the the new cats ... but with the utmost respect surely that should be an integral part of the current
744:
Thanks! I would dearly love to have the time to categorise ALL types of sixth form provider in any given area. However, as you say, the task is monumental and would require a huge amount of laborious edits, and like you, i'm not sure i'm up for it at this stage! I would really like your list of

It is OK, I fully appreciate the difference between the two. I am only concerned because one of the most important uses of this catagory was to enable parents to be able to easily trace the overall provision of sixth form education in a particular area or region. This is has become increasingly

important with the wider opportunities of educational choice. The catagory removal is disabling that search facility and surely has to be replaced with some alternate catagory eg. "Sixth form provision at
Secondary Schools in Greater Manchester" etc. Or am I totally at sea here?
682:
Adcote School has a 6th form! - After reading the above it puzzles me why you should want to have the school removed from the category. The reasons are not clearly defined or agreed. This was previously undone by another user.As above the edit summary records this was using

Hopefully it will not turn out to be overly controversial. Time will tell, but it would surprise me if I was the last 'educational interested' editor to pop in here to discuss the change with you over the coming days. Hey Ho, I am off to bed. Nice chatting with you.

you omitted the negative sign on the longitude coordinate, thereby consigning the cathedral to the North Sea where - according to google, it resides to this day. No probs, just one of those things; it was fixed on wikipedia some months later.

project you took upon yourself to perform and I assume you have a list of all the schools you have affected. I take it from your responses that you didn't actually discuss the implications with anybody else before you started?

Additionally, I have noticed you have left (in some categories) only schools with the title college. Just because a school does not refer to itself as being a college, does not mean its sixth form is not a sixth form college.

Hello, I was wondering why have you removed sixth form colleges from the sixth form college category on a mass scale? What is your reasoning behind this? Have you proposed this to other editors? Thanks.

If you feel that a separate category for schools with 6th forms is necessary then please go ahead, my point is that they shouldnt be in the the sixth form colleges categories.
1141:
and be in two categories - "Schools in
Somerset" and "Special schools in England" a level below "Special schools in the United Kingdom" and which has been missing up to now

incorporated Sixth form colleges though, as I would like to list all of them etc, and route out anty rogues etc. If I could have that, that would really help me!

Thank you! That particular article had been a mess. It's still no way near perfect but at least it makes some sort of sense now!
