From September 2013, Levenhulme High School will be working towards becoming the first school in Manchester to be ‘officially’ LGBT friendly!

The school will be working with Elly Barnes’ Educate and Celebrate programme. Elly has devoted her career to helping schools become environments in which LGBT students and teachers can thrive without fear of discrimination.

“We want as many schools as possible to tackle LGBT equality, we want every student to be proud of who they are. Educate and Celebrate is not just about fighting prejudice it’s about celebration” Yvette Cooper MP, Shadow Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities.
