School banned in school

It may have coast almost five million pounds to build, but this state of the school will not be called a school after all because of the negative vibes that term gives off.

The Watercliffe Meadow “School” is to be known as a “Place for learning” is this political correctness gone mad or is there some other underlying reason as to why the word school has been dropped from the title.

Watercliffe Meadow in Sheffield has around five hundred pupils, but there is a relaxed feel to the place, pupils can wear slippers and the word school has been removed because it is believed that the parents have negative images of school.

Yet when asked many parents say that this is not true and believe that the school should be called school and be done with it.
