๐ June is Pride Month so we thought this weekโs Wellbeing Wednesday would be a good time to talk to pupils about the history of pride & why it is so important to recognise the ongoing pursuit of equal justice for the LGBTQ+ community...
๐ฅ Regardless of whether a student identifies as LGBTQ or not, making the topic one thatโs easy to talk about will help our students learn how to be allies to their LGBTQ+ peers in the classroom and beyond.

If you can,spend a minute during the day asking each child something about their lives. Could be about a computer game they play, a team they play for. Anything.Thatโs 30 minutes over a day. 30 minutes that show you care. That one minute conversation per child could mean so much.
