Broomhill Primary is committed to ensuring that our ethos and curriculum is lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) inclusive.
By displaying the LGBT Charter of Rights, we hope to send a positive message to LGBT people in the Broomhill Primary community that they are included, valued, supported and will be treated fairly when they access our school service.
