LGBTQI School
In March 2019, Allerton Grange School was recognised as a trained LGBTQI school.
Barnardo’s Positive Identities service delivered sessions in school to provide staff with the knowledge, confidence and resources to challenge prejudice and discrimination proactively. The training helps schools support LGBTQI pupils, staff and families to ensure their school environment and curriculum is inclusive of a diverse range of identities.
In addition to the training courses, Barnardo’s offers policy reviews and guidance on how discriminatory bullying should be recorded and responded to.
Allerton Grange was one of the 162 schools to receive the training which is funded by the Government Equalities Office and supported by the Department for Education.
