A school newsletter said the move was prompted by requests from students and staff.
A secondary school that named a house after author JK Rowling has renamed it due to her "comments and viewpoints surrounding trans people".
It said in the newsletter that its six houses were "represented by British citizens who have excelled". "If sex isn't real, there's no same-sex attraction. If sex isn't real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives," she tweeted.
