What is the Rainbow Flag Award?
The Rainbow Flag Award is an initiative focusing on positive LGBT+ inclusion (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans plus other related identities). Blueberry Park is committed to improving the lives of all young people including LGBT+, those from LGBT+ families and LGBT+ staff members. At Blueberry Park we are proud to be participating in this initiative and we have been working hard to show how we support LGBT+ in school and also across the wider school community. We have completed and passed three of the six modules required to achieve the award so far.
