At DCHS we regularly retrain our staff to help support LGBT+ students and are always happy to share LGBT+ celebration events with our whole school community. Check out some of our resources:
This was our 'Rainbow Flag Award' assembly from back in 2021. We are still proudly working across the six strands and currently being reappriased by HumanKind.
Statement from
Governor Rachel Milburn
As a staff governor I personally feel that the school’s journey towards achieving the Rainbow Flag Award is both important and timely. The governing body has always valued diversity and inclusivity when making decisions and shaping policies for our school. Through the work currently being undertaken as part of the RFA we now have two designated governors who will continue to work closely with Rebecca Makamure and Rosie Bush - myself and Steve Wilkes. These links will continue beyond the duration of the RFA assessment cycle to ensure continued good practice in future years, for the benefit of our students and wider community.
As governors we support LGBT inclusivity being promoted through the curriculum, in our communications with parents, and through staff equality and diversity training. The materials provided to staff are shared with governors and we work closely with teachers to discuss how Sex & Relationships Education is LGBT-inclusive.

These are the specific terms for the LGBT+ Community, alongside their flags and definitions.
These flags are sometimes taken to festivals, worn as pin badges and used as a way to express identity.
Students and staff in school are encouraged to wear badges to show pride and solidarity.
Generally, we prefer to use the term LGBT+ as an umbrella acronym to refer to the community, although you might also hear about LGBTQI+ or other variations.
