STONEWALL BRONZE AWARD
For the last year and a half Dorothy Stringer has been accredited with Stonewall which is the largest LGBTQ+ charity in the UK. This has allowed us to access resources to support LGBTQ+ inclusion in and out of the classroom, as well as staff training and support. The school has also been working hard to achieve its Bronze Champion Award which recognises the work schools do to promote inclusion for LGBTQ+ students and staff. We are very proud to say that Dorothy Stringer School has just achieved this Bronze Award! This is a very challenging award to achieve and involved collecting evidence from every aspect of the school, from the curriculum, student well-being and safeguarding, student voice and leadership. The award is testament to how inclusive Dorothy Stringer is for LGBQT+ students in every area and this is a chance to celebrate the great work our whole school community does to support equality. As well as celebrating our award, our canteen created some rainbow-coloured lunches to celebrate Pride month in June, and we also held a Pride bake-off and cake sale which raised money for the Rainbow Fund, a vital charity within Brighton and Hove helping to fund projects which make a difference to the lives of thousands of individuals within the LGBTQ+ community. Take a look at some of the colourful bakes below!
