[edit] band captain
"The current Band Captain is Michael Baskerville, or "Bean" to his peers." is it really necessary to list the current band captain, especially considering other school posts (like the senior Grecian, or even permanent adult posts like headmaster) aren't listed? Is it really appropriate to put a child's name on here, especially when he's otherwise no one of consequence? And isn't it "beans" anyway? Perhaps a section on the traditional posts held at CH would be better. Amo 19:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think that any pupil's names should be listed, especially for particular positions, since they generally change at least once a year. Far better to provide more info about the school and its traditions (my connection with CH is that one of my sons is an Old Blue, well not that old really) Murray Langton 19:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Uniform
Can We get some images of the uniform, its a very unique part of the school and this page would benefit from a image showing what it looks like, I don't have any good quality images myself but im sure someone out there does
[edit] Bluecoat School usage
Are we sure that Bluecoast School identifies only this one school. In History of Manchester this term seems to designate a different school. This may be along the lines of several schools in the U.S. referring to themselves as "The University", as UofVa is sometimes called, for instance. WVhybrid 23:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- A lot of schools opened up in the model of CH. they copied it's charitable ends and it's style of dress and were also known as bluecoat schools. some of them still are, even in their formal title (unlike CH).Amo 15:06, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Money
Do all people have to pay now? I didn't know that. Also, I reckon some of the contributors (myself included) are pupils or old blues, since they know so much, like about Beans being Band Captain (I didn't know that; only that this year it's Geoff Janes)...
The school is not charging some people on their means, now they are doubling some people's fees... leaving them almost nothing a month for their parents to spend on food etc and other essentials out of their hard earned money. For your sake, do not bother with this school.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.107.16.155 (talk) 21:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] List of OBs
Suggest we make category Category:Old Blues (in Category:People by schools in England) to replace list. Man vyi 09:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Or perhaps just a page, like List of Old Blues. Aboyall 18:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

- I created the Category:Old Blues, but it was later renamed to Category:Christ's Hospital Old Blues (see the CFD discussion here). But it need not replace the list, which is also worth having, as it can and does include notable OBs who don't yet have a Wikipedia article. Xn4 02:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
