Educate and Celebrate

South Hetton Primary School is currently working with the ‘Educate and Celebrate’ team to promote and build a future of inclusion and social justice in our school.

Educate & Celebrate is an Ofsted and DFE recognised Award Programme that gives staff, students, parents and governors the confidence and strategies to implement an LGBT+Inclusive curriculum to successfully eradicate homophobia, biphobia and transphobia from our nursery, primary and secondary schools, colleges, universities, organisations and communities.

Focusing on 5 core areas, the award programme invites teachers, students, parents and governors to participate in creating positive whole school change through training, policy, curriculum, community and environment.

Well done to everyone at South Hetton Primary School – we managed to achieve our Educate and Celebrate award.

Black History Month

Pupils had a fantastic time learning all about black history. Each year group learned about a different person and how the events of their life affected the world.

Rainbow Day

In November, we launched the educate and celebrate initiative with a Rainbow Day. We wore lots of bright colours and learned about diversity, including the ways in which people are different: age, disability, gender, gender identity, race, nationality, religion and sexual orientation. We talked about families and the many different ways that families can be made up.

Great Rainbow Bake Off

South Hetton Primary School were the first place winners of the Educate and Celebrate Great Rainbow Bake off. Our Equality Committee had so much fun baking with Miss Mann and Miss Hilton and were very proud of the message portrayed on the cake.

LGBT History Month

We celebrated LGBT+ History month by reading stories from our Pride book collection. Children learned about many things including the history of the Pride movement and the changing laws of same-sex marriage
