The former principal of Wilson’s Hospital School has told the High Court she tried to find a compromise with Enoch Burke, after he raised concerns about a request to identify a student by a different name.

Mr Burke had previously expressed concerns about a wall display at the school which included a non-binary person, and asked the principal if she supported this, she said.
