SIR — I was sorry to read in the Free Press of February 26 that there is a proposal to change the name of Danesfield Middle School in Williton to the Quantock Middle School.

Naming the school that would be inaccurate as it is not on the Quantocks.

The existing name Danesfield underlines the historic events of the past in this location where, after a battle, the Danes were buried.

Let’s take the opportunity to be proud of and maintain local history in our school.

I do hope the governors make the decision not to re-brand the school with the new name.

Myra Barratt,
