Prince Andrew School, the only secondary school on St Helena, a British Overseas Territory in the south Atlantic Ocean, says it is dropping its title to be free from “controversial ties”.
The island’s government said the school believed the change was a crucial step in ensuring its name embodied the values, aspirations, and identity of its students and the wider community.
A secondary school named after Prince Andrew is changing its name after the King’s disgraced brother was mired in a string of scandals.
“The school believes a neutral name will foster a positive and forward-thinking learning environment, free from contentious associations,” it said.
