The conference is the key annual opportunity for School Champions to share best practice on tackling homophobia, hear from experts and link up with professionals from charities, universities, local authorities and other organisations. The conference includes a large range of workshops exploring different key LGBT issues within schools. We have been asked to present in one of these workshops to show how we make our curriculum inclusive of LGBT issues, and how we utilise all subject areas to do this. The presentation aims to show other schools and charities how creative our staff here at The Grange School are in finding ways of implementing such important messages in lessons, by using all subject areas, and highlighting key figures and facts related to LGBT issues. This has been done by making reference to celebrities, key dates in legislation, challenging stereotypes, plus our on-going work in assemblies and PSHCEE lessons. We are honoured to have been invited to present at the Conference, and look forward to continuing our work with Stonewall in the future.
