LGBT+ History Month takes place in February each year.

LGBT+ History Month is all about promoting fairness, equality and diversity and raising awareness of LGBT+ people and culture, now and in the past. It aims to give voice to LGBT+ experiences, celebrate achievements and highlight the challenges people still face today. It is also about helping everyone to learn more about LGBT+ culture and history.

Purple Friday is on Friday 23rd February. It will be a pay £1 non-uniform day where pupils and staff are encouraged to wear purple and/or rainbow to celebrate.

You may see posters around the school or on the screens in the social area. It would be helpful if article 2 links in with your lessons to mention it pupils.
