Celebrating LGBTQI+ History month
This month, Team Fairfield has been celebrating and promoting LGBTQI+ History month to give students the opportunity to learn and share the history of the LGBTQI+ community which is historically systematically erased from our society.
The theme for LGBTQI+ History Month 2021 is Mind, Body, Spirit – with this in mind, our staff have been busy preparing resources and sharing with students, where appropriate, during tutor time and lessons (for example as starter activities). We are pleased to confirm that our staff will be continuing to raise awareness of LGBTQI+ in our curriculum and school life throughout the academic year.
Please see below some of the resources which have been prepared by our teachers to celebrate this special month:
