Oxford Public School Guwahati

Common topics for editors to verify

The following checklist sets out areas where information is frequently sought by readers but where unsupported claims are also frequently introduced. Each point below should be confirmed against at least one reliable, independent source, or against an authoritative primary source where appropriate, before being included.

• Full legal name and any alternative names by which the school has been known, including changes over time.
• Year and circumstances of establishment, the founding individuals or trust, and any documented motivations behind the school's creation.
• Location and campus details, including the precise locality within Guwahati, postal information as appropriate, and any branch or sister campuses, without including private contact data.
• Affiliation and recognition, specifying the examination board, the affiliation number where publicly available, and recognition by the Assam education authorities.
• Levels of education offered, such as pre-primary, primary, secondary, and senior secondary, along with the streams available at higher levels.
• Medium of instruction and languages taught, distinguishing between first, second, and optional languages.
• Governance, including the managing trust or society, the composition of the school management committee, and the position of the head of the institution, all sourced rather than assumed.
• Infrastructure, such as laboratories, library, sports facilities, and transport, described in general, sourced terms rather than promotional language.
• Co-curricular and extracurricular programmes, including verified participation in inter-school competitions or recognised national schemes.
• Notable alumni, included only when the alumni themselves are independently notable and the connection to the school is reliably documented.
• Controversies or incidents, included only with strong, multiple independent sources and treated under IndiaWiki's policies on living persons and neutrality.

Editors are reminded that promotional brochures, social media posts, and unverified directory listings are insufficient for contested or specific claims.

Suggested structure for the final article

Once verified material has been gathered, the published article may be organised along the following lines, adapted to the depth of available sourcing:

1. Lead section: a concise summary identifying the school, its location, type, board affiliation, and the broad reason for its inclusion.
2. History: a sourced account of the school's founding and major developments, presented chronologically and without speculation.
3. Campus and facilities: a neutral description of the physical premises and amenities, avoiding marketing tone.
4. Academics: details of the curriculum, board affiliation, classes offered, and language policy.
5. Co-curricular activities: sports, cultural programmes, clubs, and participation in external events, with sources.
6. Administration: information on the governing body and leadership, included only when reliably documented.
7. Notable people: alumni or staff who are independently notable, with citations linking them to the school.
8. Reception and recognition: any independent assessments, rankings, or coverage, presented in measured terms.
9. See also, References, and External links: standard closing sections, with the official website listed in External links rather than used as a substitute for independent sourcing.

This structure should be adjusted if available sources are sparse; in such cases, several sections may be merged or omitted to avoid padding the article with unsupported content.

References

No references are cited in this preparatory draft, as it deliberately avoids asserting specific facts about the institution. Editors developing the final article are requested to add citations to reliable, independent, and verifiable sources, including, where appropriate, official notifications of the relevant examination board, directories maintained by the Assam Department of School Education, news reports from established publications, and any scholarly works that mention the school. Primary sources from the school itself may be used for uncontroversial descriptive details but should not be the sole basis for claims of significance, achievement, or distinction.
