A SCHOOL said the decision to drop Winston Churchill and JK Rowling as house names was made by students. Pupils at Seaford Head School will vote on new names after it was questioned whether the two figures represent the school s core values . A letter to parents, guardians and pupils from members of the school s student leadership team said this was because Churchill was a figure who promoted racism and inequality, unfairly imprisoning and torturing many . It added that they no longer think that JK Rowling is a suitable representative, because of her recent words about the trans community . The school has issued a fresh statement after The Argus reported on the decision.
