Our Educating with Pride Award is an annual service which has been running since 2018, helping schools across Norfolk achieve a high standard of care supporting LGBT+ young people, staff, parents and the wider community.

We work with all learning environments from KS1 to KS5. We do not tell you what to do, but we offer a range of services during our year together focusing on positive inclusion and visibility. We create packages that are bespoke and tailored to suit the needs of your school.

These include:

1:1 support sessions with pupils.
Free resources.
Access to our LGBT+ Workshops.
Support setting up an LGBTQ+ group
Support tackling LGBT+ bullying.
LGBT+ awareness training for staff.
Peer education programmes.
How to actively make your school a more inclusive learning environment.
Join our Educating with Pride Norfolk Network.

Through a year-long process of ongoing support and feedback, schools and colleges are given access to a variety of resources to add to their toolkits.

Resources

“Working with Norfolk LGBT+ Project has been amazing for our academy community. We are very fortunate to have such a responsive organisation that understands what support our students need and who are active in supporting them and helping staff get a greater understanding of how we can build a more inclusive environment for everybody. The Educating With Pride programme has given staff and parents access to resources which help dispel misconceptions and show us how we can make a positive difference in the lives of our pupils. Alongside this support, Norfolk LGBT+ Project give one-to-one support to pupils that benefit from feeling supported by somebody who has experienced the world in a similar way to them. This support really makes a difference – I’ve seen how their sessions have transformed our students’ outlooks and attitudes and helped remove fear and a sense of isolation from their lives. I feel supported as an educator and I know that whenever a thorny or unexpected issue around gender or sexual orientation comes up, I can ask a local expert to support me and receive guidance at the drop of a hat.” – Equality Officer, Ormiston Victory Academy
