Ide Primary School is proud to say that we are now holders of the Rainbow Flag Award! This makes us the first Primary School in all of Devon and Cornwall to hold the award. Representatives from the award came to deliver our certificate and giant rainbow flag in a special assembly and we will be displaying these proudly in school. We want to say a huge thank you and well done to all of the staff, students and family members who have provided so much support during the process. We wouldn’t be here without the hard work and commitment of the entire school community.
The Rainbow Flag Award is a national quality assurance framework for primary schools, secondary schools, SEND schools and colleges. The award focuses on positive LGBT+, (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, plus other related identities), inclusion and visibility.
The Rainbow Flag Award encourages a whole organisation approach to LGBT+ inclusion, as well as developing strategies to effectively challenge and combat LGBTphobic bullying.
We teach children about relationships through our whole school PSHE scheme ‘SCARF’ and use the following DFE guidance.
More information about the curriculum for PSHE and RSE can be found here:
The Intercom trust is a local community resource that may be of support to families.
