Watercliffe Meadow opened its doors in September.  It has 500 students, classrooms, teachers and a playground.  Technically, it is a school, but calling it a "school" has been forbidden because of its 'negative connotations'. 

'We decided from an early stage we didn't want to use the word "school",' she [Linda Kingdon, headmistress] said yesterday. 'This is Watercliffe Meadow, a place for learning. One reason was many of the parents of the children here had very negative connotations of school.

'Instead we want this to a be a place for family learning, where anyone can come. We were able to start from scratch and create a new type of learning experience. There are no whistles or bells or locked doors.

So would a student get expelled if he or she called it "school"?  Seriously, a school is a school.
