Support for LGBTQ+ Young People
1. SAGA is the school’s LGBTQ+ group, which meets every Friday in Room 1.054. This is a safe, inclusive space open to all pupils and facilitated by an adult. The club offers the opportunity for pupils to make friendships with other LGBTQ+ pupils, allowing them to share experiences and ensuring that they are not alone.
