LGBT Charter:
At Marr, we strive to be as inclusive as possible both inside and outside the classroom. This year, we are working towards our Silver LGBT Charter, and hope to get all of our staff and young people involved through training, events and inclusive lessons. This will help us to make practical changes that will make our pupils feel more comfortable and ensure that our policies are in line with current legislation. The LGBT Charter rights are as follows:
You can read about the charter on the LGBT Youth Scotland website.
How to get involved:
Our LGBTQ+ Allies club meets on a Wednesday at lunchtime in the Library and is run by Mrs Ledingham, Miss Robson and Miss Keirs. Allies is a safe space for any LGBTQ+ young person or ally. Come along to make friends, plan events and promote LGBTQ+ inclusion.
