The Stay Safe Team are always available to talk to in school. 

LGBT+ History Month is held every February to raise awareness of, and combat prejudice against, LGBT people and history. We had an assembly in school where we thought about inclusion and acceptance. We talked about why we have the Rainbow Flag Award in school and how we can respect one another. Mrs Lea talked about the importance of recognising equality and diversity because in the past this wasn’t accepted. It is time to recognise that we are all have the right to be treated fairly.

Today, Mrs Lea talked about the importance of supporting the LGBTQ+ community and spoke about the symbolism of the rainbow flag and how it represents equality. We then shared pictures of Warrington Pride, listened to the story of Harvey Milk and our School Council members requested that the rainbow flag be displayed on our flag pole.

Pupils have learnt about LGBT+ inclusion and equality and taken part in various activities around this topic. One of our ex pupils came and spoke to the children about the importance of speaking to trusted adults and accepting everyone for who they are.

Children were very receptive and showed excellent knowledge on how to combat LGBT+ and HBT bullying. As part of our Personal Development curriculum, the children learn the difference bewtween gender identity and sexual orientation and everyone's right to be loved.

At St. Peter's, we understand how important it is to be yourself and that everyone is equal, even if they are different. We shared the following video with each other and think its message is important - love has no labels! Please click on the image below to watch.

St. Peter's has achieved The Rainbow Flag Award, where we had to undertake a variety of tasks to ensure LGBT inclusion in our school. The award focuses on LGBT+, (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, plus other related identities), inclusion and visibility, as well as developing strategies to combat LGBTphobic bullying.

Pupils have read 'Alien Nation', a book all about a planet where people can be who they want to be. It's a story of friendhsip, solidarity, building bridges and exploring who you are and where you belong.

The children then discussed and thought about the questions that were presented in the book, answering them on post-its and then creating a display of their learning.
