Stonewall

Here at Athena we are proud to be a Stonewall Champion school. We have a Stonewall Champion lead in school who attends training to enable the school to be equipped with the knowledge, tools and confidence to train colleagues on tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and celebrating difference, as well as meeting the requirements of the inspection frameworks in England, Scotland and Wales.

Being a Stonewall School enables us to:

  • Learn practical techniques to train other staff in your school on how to tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and celebrate difference
  • Learn practical ways of including different families in the curriculum
  • Gain an overview of the current state of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and its impact on pupil achievement and school performance
  • Find out how to meet our legal requirements under the Equality Act 2010 and the inspection framework in your country
  • Be inspired by best practice from other schools

We have used the skills and knowledge from this training to enable us to meet and excel in our duties regarding the implementation of PSHE and RSHE within our SEMH environment.

We know that every child is unique and every family is different and we want to celebrate and empower our students with this knowledge and understanding.
