LGBTQ+ Allies

We are delighted to share that this term we have launched our LGBTQ+ Allies Support Rep group! At Dorothy Stringer we’re pleased that all our staff are allies to the LGBTQ+ community, and our Allies Support Reps will be working to ensure there is a visible support system for students who may wish to discuss any concerns or thoughts around their sexuality.

Our LBTQ+ Allies Support Reps are identifiable by their rainbow lanyards and have introduced themselves below!

Hello, my name is Mr Allen and I am the Inclusion Co-Ordinator here at Dorothy Stringer. Apart from really liking the lanyard, I wanted to be an ally as I want all members of our community to feel safe and have the confidence to be themselves. School can be a very hard place to navigate and I want all our students to know that they can talk to me and other members of staff if they need too.

My name is Mr Elliott, and I have chosen to be an LGBTQ+ ally because I strongly believe in supporting all of our students in feeling safe and happy at school so they can be successful. I want our LGBTQ+ students to feel they have members of staff who are looking our for them and who can help them if they ever need advice or support. We have a wonderfully diverse school community which and I am really glad we are celebrating it with this new scheme.
