A primary school in Glasgow has been praised for being the first in Scotland to fully embed Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender inclusive education…
The aim was to enable teachers to “help effectively challenge homophobia, biphobia and/or transphobia in the school environment and wider community”.
Gilruth said: “Many schools across the country already take positive steps to educate learners about LGBT identities and issues but this is an important milestone. “We know that this approach has already improved experiences for many young people, with pupils reporting fewer instances of anti-LGBT behaviour, language, and bullying, both in school and the wider community. It is clear that this inclusive approach to education is already delivering real results for young people.
“Scotland’s education system must support everyone, and it is vital the curriculum is as diverse as the young people who learn in our schools. The inspirational work being undertaken at Castleton and schools like it across the country highlight how inclusive education can help to stamp out prejudice.”
