dbp:quote
  • Pupils and staff have suggested names and have decided to move away from the traditional names we have used that have had a local connection. They have chosen role models, heroes and interesting figures from history that they want to celebrate and be associated with. For example, as a result of the magnificent work carried out by the NHS over the last year, pupils wanted to celebrate the role of nurses and have therefore chosen ‘Nightingale’ as the name for one of the new houses.
