Bay Primary Renamed for Sobers | Barbados News

Bay Primary School is getting a new name — honoring cricket legend Sir Garfield Sobers — after heartfelt community discussions following his passing. Located on the very pasture where Sobers first played, the school’s renaming has won broad approval, though many residents are pushing to rename Walcott Avenue, the street where he grew up, too. A petition gathered just before the announcement shows strong local support, but some want repairs made to Walcott Avenue first. While the school change is seen as a meaningful tribute, the debate continues over how best to cement Sobers’ legacy right where he lived and loved.
