Warboys Community Primary School has used the emblem of a witch riding a broomstick on its uniforms for more than 60 years.

The unusual badge, which also adorns the clocktower and kits of sports teams, marks the fact that the Cambridgeshire village was the last place in England to hang witches.

But the school's governing body wants to get rid of the logo as part of measures to give it a "fresh start" after suffering poor inspection reports.

A statement from the school claimed: "The school is aware that some parents choose not to send their children to Warboys and cite the witch as one of the reasons why.
