Pallister Park Primary School

Rainbow Flag Award

Free to be yourself. Every day, for everyone.

At Pallister Park Primary we have gained the Rainbow Flag Award, a national initiative designed to improve the lives of everyone in our school community through a focus on LGBT+ inclusion.

It is important to us to be as inclusive as we possibly can making sure that everyone within our school community is free to be themselves and has access to any support they need.

About the award

What is the Rainbow Flag Award?

The Rainbow Flag Award is a nationally recognised accreditation for schools and other organisations. It provides a clear, supported framework for embedding positive LGBT+ inclusion into everyday school life and not as a one-off event, but as a sustained commitment to the wellbeing of every child, family and member of staff.

Working towards the award allows us to identify and implement the most appropriate strategies for our community including strategies that prevent homophobia, biphobia and transphobia (HBT) and ensure that no child or adult in our school ever feels they cannot be who they are.

This work complements everything else we do at Pallister Park. Inclusion is not a project, it is who we are. The Rainbow Flag Award gives us a structured way to make that visible, measurable and meaningful for our whole community.

What it means in practice

Our commitment to LGBT+ inclusion

Safe for everyone

Every child and adult in our school has the right to feel safe, respected and valued regardless of who they are or who they love.

Zero tolerance

Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia have no place here. We take all incidents seriously and respond with care, consistency and clarity.

Woven into learning

LGBT+ inclusion is embedded in our curriculum and everyday school life not as a standalone topic, but as part of how we teach children about the world and the people in it.

Whole community

This work extends to our staff, families and the wider community because inclusion only works when it belongs to everyone.

Our journey

Inclusion in action at Pallister Park

The images below show some of the ways we are bringing this commitment to life in school. We will continue to add to this gallery as our journey progresses.

“Inclusion is not a strategy to help people fit into existing systems. It is about transforming those systems to be better for everyone.” — George Dei
