A non-notable junior school which is barely verifiable - the closest I can find to a reliable source is a listing in the Gabbitas directory. Guy (

Delete primary schools are not automatically notable, and there is nothing to indicate this particular school passes GNG on its own merits.

Redirect or Merge. It cannot remain as it is- it must go. But the issue is how? It has a vast amount of trivia but a few interesting factoids about the building and the etymology of the name. If you examined the job ads in the TES around 1965-1975, you would believe that private pre-prep and prep schools were Dorking's only industry.
Pre-prep and prep schools in Dorking is the article we need. If we look to merge to
Dorking#Education we will swamp that article. This and other articles about
Defunct schools in Surrey achieve notability from their collective mass, rather than their individual merit. We are back at the very political private school- state school debate. We are also back pre 1944 Education Act where secondary primary was still a future concept.(and still is in public schools!) Not easy.
