I'm in the wrong career ..

[the guy with the bowtie]

My sister has just got her first Deputy Head post. She is keen to change the Form structure (currently 3a, 3b, 3c etc) to something more intellectually stimulating and she asked me to help come up with something.

The general rules are they should be named after notable Britons and not be inappropriate when out of context (e.g. we can't have little Johnny in Form Thatcher).

Here is what we have ended up with

Year 3 (Adventurers - eight)
Campbell
Cook
Drake
Livingstone
Nelson
Raleigh
Scott
Shackleton

Year 4 (Scientists - eight)
Bell
Darwin
Faraday
Fleming
Hawking
Jenner
Newton
Whittle

Year 5 (Arts - eight)
Chaplin
Chaucer
Dickens
Elgar
Moore
Shakespeare
Turner
Wordsworth

Lower Sixth (Statesmen - six)
Churchill
Cromwell
Nightingale
Pankhurst
Wellington
Wilberforce

Upper Sixth (Engineers - six)
Babbage
Brunel
Caxton
Stephenson
Telford
Watt

Any errors ? Have we missed anyone obvious ?

We had great fun (especially some of those discarded). For a (very brief) moment I saw myself teaching ... but then again.

You might find Cromwell offends anyone of Irish descent. Just my 2c ... and since when did Florence Nightingale become a statesman?

You'll never get that past the PC numpties - that's why the classes are 3a, 3b, 3c.

In fact these days even 3a, 3b, 3c is un-PC because you're not using a cyrillic / Eastern European alphabet.
