True story - 15 year old Jamie Campbell
“I was jealous that all the girls got to go to
prom in these amazing, glamorous
dresses”; I spoke to my mum about it and
she said “well why not wear one too?”
Jamie protected his safety by organising a
film crew to record his experience.

What is School Diversity Week?
@JustLikeUsUKsponsored by
What is School Diversity Week?
Every year at the start of July, schools across the country spring into action
in support of LGBT+ equality. In 2018 over 600,000 students took part.
Students like you will be doing everything from taking part in lessons,
planning and holding fundraisers, making art and music, playing sports,
running campaigns and much more.
This is the first year Nunthorpe Academy will be involved, we will be starting
with making changes to our curriculum and selling rainbow ribbons to raise
awareness, but plan to create a much stronger culture influenced by student
voice with your help.
Our Ofsted Report 27-28 March stated that:
• Our pupils are confident and self-assured.
• Willing to share their views and engage in discussions.
• The vast majority of pupils demonstrate respect and tolerance
for and towards others.
• However, a significant minority do not. These pupils from time
to time spoil the positive atmosphere in the school for others.
Nunthorpe Academy is an all inclusive academy which respects
the rights of all students.
Why are we becoming involved in School Diversity Week?
We need to:
• Improve the behaviour of those pupils who do not
conform to the high standards in the school
• Provide further opportunities in the curriculum to
educate the significant minority of pupils who
demonstrate negative attitudes to others so that they
have a more informed understanding of differences in
people.
Diversity Week is an ideal spring board to start this
education and change for everyone’s benefit.
So what do we need to do?
What is Diversity?
It means understanding that each individual is
unique, and recognising our individual differences.
These can be along the dimensions of race,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-
economic status, age, physical abilities, religious
beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.
Whilst School Diversity Week focuses specifically on LBBT+ we need to be aware and consider
our responses to all activities over the next 3 weeks in relation to all of the above!!
Straight attracted to the opposite gender
Lesbian attracted to the same gender (female)
Gay attracted to the same gender (not gender-specific)
Bisexual attracted more than one gender
Trans you don’t identify with gender you were assigned

Why does School
Diversity Week exist?
It’s a chance for all of us to demonstrate
that we’re an accepting school
community which celebrates diversity.
Growing up remains unacceptably tough
for LGBT+ young people with potentially
lifelong impact on achievement and
wellbeing: nearly 9 in 10 hear
discriminatory remarks in school and at
least 1 in 2 have self harmed.

In the news in the last few days:
A brave teenage boy who dressed in this
glamorous pink dress for a school leavers' party
was crowned prom queen.
Xavier Parkins, from Derby, wore a short pink
strapless dress with matching heels to the event
at Pride Park stadium.
Xavier stated his school prom was the time for
him to be who he really was and a time for
personal expression.
This was the first time he had dressed in drag in
front of his friends.
"It was his peers who voted for him which is an
accolade because it takes a lot of courage for
them to come out and support it as well."
