Daftest School Name Yet?
Now, what would you call a brand new school, an academy, that is opening up on the site of the Olympic village in east London? The Olympic Academy has a ring to it. Or, how about the Olympic Village Academy?
But the builders of the new school for Chobham Academy had a better idea. The school, latest member of the chain run by Lord Harris of Peckham, the Tory peer and founder of Carpetright, is going to be called the Lend Lease Harris Academy Chobham, according to the building website, bdonline. Lend Lease is the Australian company that is constructing the school. "We wanted to call it the Olympic Village Academy, but weren't allowed to," Harris told the TES.
The academy will cater for 2,200 pupils and will specialise in performing arts and English, not sport. Oh, and by the way, it is nowhere near Chobham.
