Top school under fire after boy captain replaces head girl after ‘gender-neutral’ inclusivity drive

A leading Scottish school is facing a backlash after its head girl was replaced with a boy in what it claimed was an inclusivity drive.

Williamwood High School in East Renfrewshire has scrapped its positions of head boy and head girl and replaced them with two gender neutral “captains” who are elected by other pupils.

Under the system, two of the three male candidates secured the posts, at what is one of Scotland’s best performing schools, while none of the four girls who put themselves forward were chosen.
