What will happen next

1. School Councils & House Captains meet to form a short list of 8 names. The House leaders will also form their own short list.
2. Mr Gritton & Miss Anand will take the short lists and organise them into a survey with 8 potential names.
3. 2nd Vote(18/05)- Students and staff pick their top 4 names from that list. There will also be an option to vote to stop the process. If over half of the votes are for this option, it would mean the 4 current House names would stay.
4. The results will be announced before half term.
