William Edwards school are replacing names of the houses; Whitmore, Warren, Bruyn and Rokell, changing them to Parks, Nightingale, Attenborough, Ennis-Hill, and Turing.

These names have stood since the school was established over 50 years ago, representing local history. It is a total disgrace, these were the original house names when the school opened in 1963.

It is disrespectful to all the past teachers, past students and kills any continuation of tradition and history. 

As ex-pupils we demand that the original house names be kept, not just for tradition but for future generations to share the same House name as parents, grandparents and beyond.
