The result was merge to List of schools in Camden. If somebody wants to add some of this material to the pages of the four individual schools, there's certainly nothing that prevents them from doing so as well. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:23, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep -- This has the feel of three comprehensive schools combining to provide a joint Sxith Form, becasue none are big enough to do it alone. That may be worth having an article on. Otherwise paste a summary to each of the participating schools. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:57, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Participation in this should be noted on the school page not separately in this article. Szzuk (talk) 21:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete generally the Wikipedia does not concern its self with this level of education unless there is some sign of independent notability, which there is not. --Bejnar (talk) 01:10, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of schools in Camden. Sixth-form consortia seem to vary between very loose arrangements and what are effectively separate sixth-form colleges with only vestigial links to their "parent" schools. The loose arrangements will only rarely be notable, but the effectively separate ones meet WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. La Swap is borderline: it has been operating for thirty years and while it is usually treated by the Department of Education in the context of one or other of the consortium schools, the department does occasionally seem to treat it as a distinct entity. And there is a fair bit of local coverage (sometimes even referring to it as a "sixth-form college"), though again often in conjunction to one or other of the schools. But mentions to it occur often enough to make it at least a valid search term. However, redirecting this to one or other of the individual schools seems arbitrary - there is no indication of any of the schools being the lead school in the consortium. The best solution would therefore seem to be for a selective merge to the local list of schools, stating that it is a consortium of the four schools, with the article history preserved and allowing any other information that seems appropriate in one or other of the four school articles to be copied to them.
