A school named after the 16th Century slave trader Sir Frances Drake has had its name changed following a vote.

Formerly called Sir Frances Drake Primary School, the school in Lewisham said the "overwhelming majority" of 450 parents, staff, pupils and local residents had voted for a new name.

It is now called Twin Oaks Primary School - the top choice among the respondents.

The school's headteacher described the change as an "exciting new chapter".

The links associated with the school's former name had been "at odds" with its values, according to its governing body, which decided to launch a consultation to change the name.
