The latest in the nonsense that is that cancel culture sees an all girls’ school axing the title of Head Girl because it is ‘too binary’.
Students attending an all girls’ school are girls, aren’t they? At a fee of £26,000 a year, as a parent of a girl at that school, I’d be looking elsewhere.
They're not making the change to "confirm their ethos and traditions".
"The school said the main reason for changing the title of head girl was because many senior pupils feel they are young women, but admitted the “binary connotations” were a factor in the decision."
Anyway, St Paul's is only a young school, founded in 1909. When it grows up bit to the age of my old school (founded 1613) it may behave a little more sensibly.
My old school comprised a separate boys' and girls' school. In the early 1970s they were combined to a mixed school when they were forced to move out of London because of government policies. The mixed school still has a Head Boy and a Head Girl.
