Prince of Egypt?[edit]

In the section "History - Grammar School", this looks like nonsense: "the new building was formally opened in 1928 by the Duke of Cornwall, the then Prince of Egypt"

The Duke of Cornwall (also Prince of Wales) at that time was Edward, the future Edward VIII (briefly), but he wasn't "Prince of Egypt". I can't find any evidence that Prince of Egypt was ever a British title, or ever held by the British Royal Family.

There was am Egyptian King of Egypt in 1928, and his son would have been a Prince of Egypt, but Egypt was independent of Britain by then so definitely not the same person as the Duke of Cornwall / Prince of Wales.

Unless there is some reason for this, I suggest we change "the then Prince of Egypt" to "the future King Edward VIII, then Prince of Wales" and link Edward VIII to his page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.154.225.204 (talk) 10:08, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

The history section entirely relies upon "The Origins of The Thomas Hardye School", apparently published by the school but now a dead link. This is more important since: "the Charity Commission eventually closed it whilst it was rebuilt, reopening in 1883" which if an extended closure calls into question the claimed founding date of 1579.
