Gender reassignment
Intent
To ensure we do not unlawfully discriminate, harass or victimise pupils due to their gender identity.
To ensure there is equality of opportunity between people of different gender identities. To ensure good relations are
fostered between all members of the school community regardless of gender identity
Implementation
• Young people experience privacy, dignity and respect for who they are
• Young people taking steps to live in the opposite gender will be respected, and pupils will not be treated less favourably
• All pupils will be supported to understand different views and perspectives.
• The use of language around gender identity is considered and sensitively used.
• Staff encourage positive discussions and challenge negativity around the subject
• Mental health and wellbeing of the young people is of high importance
• PSH and RSE curriculum
• Rainbow flag curriculum and award
• Specific SEN support for enabling pupils to communicate their needs and wishes
• School Values
Impact
The pupils will experience:
• a sense of self and belonging
• respect for others, non-discrimination
• be challenged on any discrimination shown by them to others
• be able to indicate their needs, wants and views
This impact will be evident in:
• EHCP/ILP reviews
• Pupil voice
• Demonstrating through their learning; experiencing, engaging, awareness and understanding of issues around the protected characteristic of gender reassignment
