Biddick Academy – Pride Month

As this month is Pride Month, during tutor time this week, students will be shown an assembly helping them navigate all things LGBTQ+. LGBTQ stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer. The “+” sign means “…and everyone else”! This is meant to include everyone who may be questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The aim of Pride Month, and our assemblies at Biddick Academy, is to open up a conversation about how to talk about, understand and support the LGBTQ+ community – even if we do not identify with any of those groups ourselves.

Miss Smith has recently formed an after school Pride Club for students to attend to celebrate their own, or others, sexuality and ask anything and everything. It is a fun, inviting space where all students are welcome. The club runs each Thursday 3:00 – 4:00 in U001 and can be attended by all year groups.
