English people on my flist - any of you go to a Church of England school? Or know of someone who did?

I went to C of E first and middle schools - up to age 13 - then not after that.

Ah, thank you. I noticed a fic review on ff.net was taking an author to task for saying a character had gone to a C of E school because there's apparently no such thing - I blinked, said "what? Yes there are!" and decided I needed verification...

Yes there is, to be more grammatical...

How weird. It's not like they're obscure, even. Probably there are fewer now with church affiliation than there used to be, but I can still name a handful of state schools in Bradford that are CofE just off the top of my head.

I went to a C of E primary school, possibly two actually, don't quite remember about the first one.

I blinked, said "what? Yes there are!" and decided I needed verification...

I can beat that. An American friend of mine was once yelled at by her RL writing group for writing an English character wrong, because (and I quote from her quote) 'British people don't speak using contractions'. Really, some days there's no end to the *mindboggle*...

Never been to one, but I used to live by one. They definitely exist!

*raises hand*

School, and Sunday School.

I did, a CofE girls' school from GCSEs to A-Levels as befits a good, nicely-brought up girl. You can clearly see the good all that religion did me. ;)

I did. I went to a CofE junior school in London between the ages of 7 and 11.

I went to one. Any particular reason?

*Hee*

*tackle-hug*

I googled 'church england school', got 3 million results, and went, 'you plonker'. The reviewer also said that Adam wasn't born in 1986--is there some Doctor info site that I have missed that says this? Or did I miss something in the episode?

Isn't he 20? Making him born in 1992?

I know that you had him as 20, but where did you get that from? It's not important to the fic or anything, but I like to know these things.

I think it said in the ep that he's 20, but I couldn't swear to it.

Also, he's listed as being 14 in 2006 (2005?) on Mickey's website.
