Syntax for group (eg "pupils of X school") when they are credited for acting roles
I have recently submitted a few cast lists where the on-screen credits include acting roles for a collection of pupils of a school. I presume these *should* go in the cast rather than being added in Misc Company section because the people are seen on screen rather than being behind-the-scenes musicians, consultants, suppliers of archive material etc which is what I think of Mic Company as being used for. How should the school name be formatted? The form validation changes "Pupils of Yardleys School, Birmingham" (example https://i.postimg.cc/NMYJ51JR/Image1.png) into "Birmingham, Pupils of Yardleys School", and similarly converts "Pupils of Malton School" into "School, Pupils of Malton", so I presume that is IMDB's preferred syntax. But should the school name and the word "School" be kept together: "Yardleys School Birmingham, Pupils of" and "Malton School, Pupils of"? They display the same way on title and cast list pages, but I wondered whether there were any advantages internally in IMDB's database.
