  • Could I just say on behalf of myself and my head teacher a huge thank you for delivering the e-safety training on Wednesday night.

It’s Pride Month in the UK, which marks the celebration of and focus on LGBTQ+ communities. While this is a time to celebrate, it is also an important time to shed light on the difficult everyday situations many LGBTQ+ young people find themselves in, especially during the ongoing pandemic.
