Resources to promote LGBTQ+ Visibility and education within secondary school.

2024 Pride Month Assembly KS3/KS4
Attached is an assembly resource that can be used either in whole year group assemblies or as a form/registration resource during Pride month. The assembly explores the history of Pride, key figures in the Stonewall uprisings, and then the history of Pride in the UK. It goes on to talk about why we still need Pride, with statistics from both the office of national statistics and Stonewall. Finally, there is a moment to thin about how we can be good allies and a slide with some charities who students can reach out to.
There is guidance in the note sections for the teachers who are delivering the slides, and most slides have some scripting in them to aid delivery. There also some notes for teachers to edit the slides- it does not require a huge amount of editing, just making sure that the information is appropriate for your setting and your students.
Grow Your Vocabulary Display
This is a display that would be suitable for any classroom KS2 and above (my sixth formers even refer to mine sometimes!). It contains all the lettering and display resources you need for a full display, you just need to print in colour, cut and laminate.
The pack contains the Grow Your Vocabulary lettering, plant pots with “boring” words printed on them (good, bad, said and went) and then the leaves on the plants have more interesting and specific synonyms. There are also blank leaves to add your own words if you would like to.
Enjoy!

Tutor Time Activity bundle
Two short tutor time activities that can be used as part of assemblies or form time to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. One is an icons quiz, with different LGBTQ+ people in the public eye having a pride flag over their face and the students have to guess who they are. The other is a flags quiz containing different LGBTQ flags, with a short explanation of the terminology when clicked on.
Would be great as a registration or form time activity, or as part of an assembly.
Thank you for looking! Happy Pride!
LGBTQ+ Pride Month Tutor Time Quiz
A tutor time powerpoint quiz that can be used in registration time as a quick way to celebrate Pride month. Has answers. Consists of pictures of the following people hidden with Pride flags that reveals the name of the person and their face when clicked on. We have tried to make sure there is a good variety of people from different walks of life and age groups etc
All animations etc have been applied already so should be able to just plug and play!

KS3 Year 7 8 9 Short Story Comprehension Booklet
This is a collection of 6 short stories and 3 story extracts, with short style comprehension based questions as well as some longer writing or reader response tasks to link to the stories. Each story has different tasks designed specifically with that story in mind.
Some of the stories also have “listen along” links to youtube etc to help students who may struggle to access the reading alone. They all tend to be linked to crime or behaviour that is perceived as deviant (but not all of them) and range different cultures/author backgrounds etc.
These can be used as in class extracts with tasks used in class, or used for homework or private study. They can be used as standalone stories/tasks or as a collection.
The stories included:
Tell Tale Heart
Lamb to the Slaughter
The Landlady
The Fly
Happily Ever After
My Antonio (extract)
The Paradise Carpet
The Hate U Give (Extract)
Crongton Knights (Extract)

Assembly Bundle
Included are 6 different assemblies and tutor time powerpoints that you can use and edit as you wish, for different events in the calendar.
Black History Month LGBTQ+ celebration assembly/lesson
Pride Month assembly- focus on Equality
Pride Month Assembly - the history of Pride and being an Ally
LGBTQ+ History Month- The AIDS crisis
LGBTQ+ History Month- Trans history
Diversity Week Assembly- what does it mean to be proud?

The slides are mostly self-explanatory but there is some guidance within the notes section on the slides to help you deliver the assembly should you need it, as well as an explanation slide at the beginning of the powerpoint.
Please be aware that most of these assemblies require you to have a little bit of input on your part- generally it is just updating the slides which tell students who to go to if they have concerns or want to talk.
Thank you so much for celebrating with your students!

CPD Bundle LGBTQ+ Support in Schools
This bundle contains 3 different CPD resources on supporting trans and non binary students and dealing with lgbtq+ phobic behaviour in school. This contains two CPD sessions, as well as a one page easy reference guide to supporting trans and non-binary students.
CPD session on tackling homophobic behaviour
This is a CPD resource to be used for training staff in how and when to deal with homophobic/ biphobic/ transphobic comments that take place in the classroom.
The CPD could be sent out as an email, could be used in a 15/20 minute briefing, or used as part of a longer CPd session on inclusivity etc.
It also discusses what constitutes LGBTQ+phobic behaviour and comments, how to recognise them and when to deal with them. There is some use of statistics from some Stonewall studies to show the prevalence of LGBTQ+phobic language, as well as on the impact of this on LGBTQ+ Students.
Please Note: This resource will need some input from the user to reflect the behaviour policy/appropriate members of staff/appropriate sanctions etc (for example, if you use SIMs to record bullying as opposed to using CPOMs you will have to edit to reflect this) *

It should take between 20 and 25 minutes to deliver in full, so if used as a lesson you may wish to add some written tasks (some suggestions are given in the powerpoint itself).
There are detailed notes in the notes section of each powerpoint slide, to aid delivery and help with background knowledge in case the students have questions.
The final slide has space for you to include and signpost in-school support that is specific to your school, as well as some AIDS and LGBTQ+ youth charities you can also signpost students towards.
