Reading the article in The Times it sounds like the role used to be called Head of School then changed to Head Girl and is now changing back to Head of School because it's usually one of the older pupils so Head Girl might sound a bit weird.
Doesn't sound quite as reactionary as the headline makes it sound.

Head Boy/Head Girl have been around decades - and aren't weird at all.
When fewer than 1% of the school don't identify as girls/female, it seems a tad kneejerk. Seems at least some of the staff agree.
I went to school just across the river. SPSG was always a target rich environment. Helped by us spanking the Boy's school at rowing repetitively.

Like I said look beyond the headlines.
“From our very foundation in 1904 and for decades afterwards, the senior student was called ‘Head of the School’, so in making the change, we are confirming, not denying, our ethos and traditions.”
I doubt they had woke or non-binary or whatever people want to try and blame it on now to worry about back then.

I'm not blaming it on woke, or anything.“From our very foundation in 1904 and for decades afterwards, the senior student was called ‘Head of the School’, so in making the change, we are confirming, not denying, our ethos and traditions.”

Wonder what the title has been for the majority of their existence?
The staff make good points.
“ Around seven of the school’s 778 pupils identify at non-binary, which means they don’t feel comfortable being referred to as male or female.
The school said the main reason for changing the title of head girl was because many senior pupils feel they are young women, but admitted the “binary connotations” were a factor in the decision.”

Middle aged , late transitioning males aka transwomen going into a girls school to give “safeguarding” advice to teenage girls who may be wanting to transition for very different reasons?
Not creepy in the slightest

Is it creepy when middle aged police officers come in to talk about personal safety?
When middle aged teachers or health visitors come in to talk about sexual health?
What make’s this different?
The people you mention have relevant experience in their professions. When middle aged teachers or health visitors come in to talk about sexual health?
What make’s this different?
Transitioning from male to female as a middle-aged adult is a very specific experience- why should that automatically make you an expert in safeguarding teenage girls who may be wanting to transition for very different reasons?
This individual believes there is 150+ genders for example lol. How validating it all must be for him.
