The school leadership has officially abandoned the proposal to rename our traditional year groups. Our heritage remains intact because the community refused to accept this unnecessary change. Please continue to monitor future discussions regarding school policy to ensure our customs are preserved.

You may or may not know, but there is a change about to take place to change the year names at LRGS e.g. First year becomes Year 7. This is not only useless, as most people will not use the new names, but also damaging to our traditions, which make our school stand out. It's time we took action against a small group of teachers who wish to topple our school!

This will be a futile move, much like the renaming of Leeds Met 'university' to Leeds Beckett - Everyone still says Leeds Met, and everyone still knows that their prospects in life are just as bleak under this new name. This change will result in nothing - 'year 7s' will always be first years, and will always be grubby and smelly.
My school had names like 3rd, 4th, Removes, L5th and U5th - it helped make it special. I urge you not to throw away a happy tradition for the sake of bland conformity. It's a one way trip ...
As a member of the drama form, we need as many reasons to stand out for being unique as possible. We struggle... Right? Keep the names, it makes no difference and it maintains our link with heritage and tradition.
Keep the names! we lose a sense of identity as it is something very unique to out school compared to other local ones.
LRGS has changed a lot for better or worse over my time but this is not on. In no way does it benefit our school, we are not a comprehensive and next you'll be putting us in 'sets' and getting rid of games. A fundamental part of our school is that we are different from the rest of the Lancaster mob and we shouldn't be changing ourselves to fit in with the norm, but rather be proud of our differences.

It's pointless changing it.. changing year names won't improve our school, it will just make it a bit more average.. boring.
