College working towards Rainbow flag award

Honiton Community College is proud to be working with local organisation The Intercom Trust in applying for the Rainbow Flag Award.   This is quite an undertaking, showing what the College is doing to promote diversity and to make all students, particularly those who are LGBT+ feel safe, valued and ready to take their place alongside their peers as learners here.   It will involve the College submitting evidence showing that in all subject areas and through the College’s policies and ethos that the work we do is diverse and inclusive, meaning that all students have appropriate role models and feel that they have a sense of belonging.

Mr Maplesden and Mrs Harvey-Ingram went on an introductory meeting this term, but will be working alongside all members of staff, students and parents and carers to ensure the College gets the recognition for the work it has already started; including the regular Student LGBT+ group which has been meeting for several years already.   If anyone is interested in helping with this, or if you or your child have any questions we can be contacted at College on lgbt@honitoncollege.devon.sch.uk
