Denny High celebrate LGBT award win

The achievement follows their months of hard work promoting equality and diversity to the school community.

Youngsters started training sessions for staff and also began a weekly diversity group to provide a safe space for students.

Head teacher Stephen Miller said: “We are immensely proud that our work on LGBT issues has been recognised in this way.

“We have demonstrated in a very clear way that each pupil has a unique value and that no-one should be subject to any factor as a definition of who they are as a person.”

The LGBT Youth Scotland’s School Charter awards help schools look at their policy and practice in the context of LGBT diversity.

Falkirk Councillor Adanna McCue, spokesperson for education, said: “We are especially proud of Denny High.

“We hope other high schools throughout the Falkirk Council area will take part in the Charter Mark in the future.”
