The page in question clearly did not show any sign of notability. No notable alumni or any significant achievement as a school. Simple put that it fails WP: ORG Otuọcha (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As said previously, the article topic is clearly referenced in numerous reliable secondary sources thus indicating a degree of notability. Additionally sources indicate the school has received "internationally recognised" awards such as the green flag award, a notable achievement that can be expanded on.

Keep. I strongly object to the deletion of this article. The article is about a notable and well-established junior school in Cambridgeshire, England. The article meets the general notability guideline and the specific notability guideline for schools. The article is informative, accurate, and unbiased. The article does not violate any Wikipedia policies or guidelines, such as verifiability, neutrality, or no original research. The article is not a personal attack, a hoax, a promotion, or a copyright violation. The article is not a duplicate of another article or a fork of a larger topic.

The article provides sufficient and reliable sources to support its claims. The article cites the school’s official website, and multiple news articles from a variety of publishers.

Therefore, the article should be kept and improved, rather than deleted. Deleting the article would deprive Wikipedia of valuable content and harm its credibility as a comprehensive encyclopedia.

Merge/redirect to Linton, Cambridgeshire. I believe it's unusual for a primary/junior school to have its own article. The sources placed in this article can be used to verify facts but do not necessarily make the school notable under the GNG or WP:NORG. The CambridgeshireLive article[1] on the surface looks as though it may contribute towards the GNG, but infact probably doesn't because in essence it is an extraction of data to compile ratings for all local schools. The Saffron Walden Reporter [2] reports an achievement of the school, but the piece hardly amounts to WP:ORGDEPTH coverage and may infact be WP:ORGTRIV (I'm not being dismissive of the children's achievement in making this assertion). None of the other sources count towards notability because they are either listings in a directory, brief mentions, database entries or not independent of the school. In summary, not seeing sufficient sourcing satisfying GNG/NORG. Rupples (talk) 01:59, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge/redirect to Linton, Cambridgeshire. It is indeed very unusual for junior schools to have their own article, and I can not see that one justifies it. Bduke (talk) 05:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Barely eight years the school was founded. I saw some promotional content and as such, basic schools usually don't have article or press to publish their achievements. Probably may be press release or blog post. Otuọcha (talk) 12:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't actually founded eight years ago, that is an error. There was a previous establishment on the site by the same name. MattA 23:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattA Official (talk • contribs)
Redirect to Linton, Cambridgeshire as suggested by Rupples. Almost all the citations are from primary sources. Only two (the ones from the Saffron Walden Reporter) are unequivocally reliable sources. In any case, definitely not the direct, in-depth coverage WP:NORG or the GNG are looking for. Tserton (talk) 21:49, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
