To further support the LGBTQ community Copley Academy values the importance of educating our students, especially in the use of language.
Each month we will have a GREAT LGBTQ icon, so please visit this section of the website on a regular basis for these and further updates and news
PRIDE Groups- Just Like Us
Copley Academy is proud to be working with Just Like Us. Their mission is to empower young people to champion LGBT+ equality. They want all young people to know that being LGBT+ is something to be celebrated. LGBT+ young people still face unacceptable levels of lesbophobia, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. These experiences can have a life-long negative impact.
Pride Groups are student-led and create a safe, welcoming space for LGBT+ pupils and allies to talk about LGBT+ topics, socialise and find community. Pride Groups are an integral part of Just Like Us’ work in making education more inclusive.
