The two school sites chosen to house Guernsey's all-ability system of secondary education will have their names changed, education's president has confirmed.
The new plans for a one-school, two-site secondary system will only use Les Beaucamps and St Sampson's schools.
This means that the Grammar School and Sixth Form Centre and La Mare de Carteret will have to be either repurposed or closed down.

Quote Message: Using the sites which currently have the highest standard of facilities – mostly because they have been built more recently – removes the need to build a completely new school at La Mare de Carteret and to carry out extensive refurbishment of the Les Varendes site, which is nearly 35 years old and which would have required students there to move to another site during refurbishment before being moved back." from Committee for Education, Sport and Culture

New education plans: 'School names will change'

BBC News Online
The two school sites chosen to house Guernsey's all-ability system of secondary education will have their names changed, education's president has confirmed.
Les Beaucamps and St Sampson's High sites have been selected, with the costings due to be released in the first half of 2019.
"This is a big piece of cultural change here for the education system," Education, Sport and Culture President Matt Fallaize said.
"I think changing names and changing uniforms is a necessary part of that cultural change," he added.
Deputy Fallaize committed to consulting islanders on the names of the two new school sites.

In the plans released for the future of secondary education in Guernsey there are very few mentions of the schools that have not been selected to play a part.
