The Boswells School in Chelmsford, eastern England, said it changed the name of its red house from Rowling to Holmes, in honor of Olympic gold medalist Kelly Holmes.
"At The Boswells School we foster a vibrant, inclusive and democratic school community, where we encourage students to develop into independent, confident citizens," said headmaster Stephen Mansell.
"Her views on this issue do not align with our school policy and school beliefs –- a place where people are free to be," the school said.
