We are the LGBT+ Allies group at Dunbar Grammar School! Follow to keep up to date with all going on across the school to promote inclusion and equality.

@dgs_tlc staff were given opportunity to complete training with @LGBTYS as part of our Silver Chartership Journey.
This inspired us to make 'inclusion pledges' for this school year, please enjoy hearing some of them in the video below!

The LGBT+ Allies group has been hard at work creating these ‘positivity notes’ in preparation for #antibullyingweek!
Looking forward to spreading some joy and appreciation to our wonderful students and staff ✨

[DGSLGBT+Allies @dgslgbt]

We are starting the year on a high and carrying on the fabulous work of last year!

If anyone was wondering why we chose to host our 'Pride Day' on Tuesday the 28th of june.

It is important that we not only celebrate diversity and strive for inclusion, but also educate the next generation on the history of their community and the people who paved the way.

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the #StonewallRiots - a crucial turning point for the LGBTQ+ rights movement that has inspired decades more progress.

It's also the moment from which we're proud to take our name 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[DGSLGBT+Allies @dgslgbt]

So many of our young people attended @PrideEdinburgh and were inspired by the sense of community!

So they decided that the only way to end the Pride Day at @dgs_tlc was, of course, to hold a Pride March round the school grounds after school.

A fantastic end to #pridemonth

[DGSLGBT+Allies @dgslgbt]

An extra special part of todays Pupil Pride Day was the #pridepicnic!

Members of the LGBT+ Allies group had a chance to be together and celebrate the hard work they have put into the @LGBTYS Silver Chartership Journey this year!

And of course there was lots of cake 🏳️‍🌈 🍰 🏳️‍⚧️

The winning entry to yesterdays 'Staff Bake Off' to celebrate #PrideMonth2022 had to be this spectacular one from @DGSMathsDept!
Can confirm that it tasted as good as it looked!

[DGSLGBT+Allies @dgslgbt]

We couldn't let the pupils have all the fun and what better way to test what our staff have learnt in their @LGBTYS training this year than a *ahem* FRIENDLY Kahoot Quiz!!

Thank you to all those who joined. Hope you had fun! 🏳️‍🌈😍

[Miss Jack @MissJackHistory]

It’s been a competitive morning for Miss McLeman and myself… 38 rainbows and counting @dgslgbt 🏳️‍🌈

Assemblies this week have been led by Brodie from the @dgslgbt Group. She highlighted our school progress with the LGBT Chartership and information about the many events which will be happening on Pride Day next Tuesday #RISE 🏳️‍🌈
