LGBT+ History Month, celebrated in February, is a chance to shed new light on the history of lesbian, gay, bi and trans people in the UK. We are celebrating LGBT+ History Month with:

• Whole-school displays celebrating a diverse range of LGBT+ role models
• An assembly on LGBT+ History
• Library displays of literature recommendations with LGBT+ themes
• A different piece of music played each week by an LGBT+ artist when students enter the Willoughby Theatre for assembly
• English team: teaching a lesson to Years 7-10 with a link between LBQT+ History and the current topic being taught in English
• Science team: exploring gender and LGBT+ representation in STEM communities in Years 7-9
• French and Spanish lessons: Incorporating LGBQT+ issues into conversational French/ Spanish in Years 7-11
• Art and Technology: Promoting and taking part in a national badge competition for LGBQT+ History Month

At SPWT, we celebrate equality, diversity and inclusion all year round. As part of our equalities work, in the Summer term, all students will focus on learning more about LGBTQ+ identities in their Personal Development sessions, and we ensure that our RSE work incorporates is inclusive of LGBTQ+.
