Be Yourself – LGBTQ+

At Rainford our school ethos is:

Everyone Matters

We expect our community to be polite and respectful

Everyone Helps

We expect our community to make sensible choices

Everyone Succeeds

We expect our community to work hard

 

Every student and staff member is equal and we want everyone to receive the support that they need to be happy and successful.

As part of our LGBTQIA+ support and developments we want every member of the community to:

Be proud to be yourself

We offer support to all students in our school community around LGBTQIA+, whether they identify as being in the LGBTQIA+ community or otherwise.

LGBTQ+ Society

If you want to speak to other students from our LGBTQIA+ community or would like to speak to a staff member about LGBTQIA+ and how you are feeling then please speak to Miss Mcintosh who will provide you with further details on how you can join the LGBTQIA+ society. It is a great way to make new friends and receive support. You can either come once of become a regular member.

If would like to ask any questions then speak to Miss Mcintosh, Mr Kenyon, Mrs McCartney or any member of the pastoral team.
