LGBT+ History Month

This LGBT+ History Month, help us to celebrate our diverse Herts community.

LGBT+ History Month is celebrated every year in February. This is a chance for us to look back at history and the issues impacting the LGBT+ community. Through raising awareness and educating ourselves, we can challenge prejudice and bias, driving positive change and allyship.

For 2024, we will be running activities and sharing resources that are thought-provoking, empowering and celebratory. All students and staff are encouraged to attend the LGBT+ History Month activities.
