LGBTQ+ rights & support
EA LGBTQ+ Pride Group meets most Tuesday lunchtimes in Y01.
All are welcome to come along and enjoy a safe space to chat and discuss LGBTQ+ issues.
We respect all identities, genders & sexualities and are dedicated to ensuring Elgin Academy provides a safe environment for every pupil.
Students are welcome to bring their lunch and a friend or just come along on their own.
We also run an LGBT Champions Group, who are currently working towards the Bronze LGBTQ+ Charter of Rights for Education accreditation, in collaboration with LGBT Youth Scotland. More information on this can be found in the brochure linked below:
