Rainbow Flag Award

As a school we are currently working towards the Rainbow flag award. The award is designed to help schools to make positive steps to support all pupils, staff and families; to feel safe and comfortable to be themselves by ensuring we are LGBT+ inclusive in aspects of our school community.

LGBT+ Pupil Ambassador

As part of our pupil empowerment programme we have a LGBT+ Pupil Ambassador. Last year Amy, Year 10, introduced Pronoun Pins across school to promote choice of gender identity.
