Time for Inclusive Education (TIE)
As Scotland’s LGBT Inclusive Education charity, we work with schools across the country to embed LGBT themes (such as history, rights, and equalities) into ordinary teaching and learning.
Knightswood 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 Knighstwood Primary community that they are included, valued, supported and will be treated fairly when they access our school service.
