STUDENTS and staff at a school in York are teaming up with a charity to promote equality and diversity.

York High School is supporting York Pride once again ahead of the charity’s event next month.

The aim is the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.

To celebrate York Pride 2017, York High will be flying the Pride flag around the school building and on the main gates and staff will be wearing rainbow lanyards.

On June 7, the school will be showing an LGBT-themed movie to students who wish to stay after school and watch it. Two days later it will be holding a non-uniform day to promote the York Pride event on June 10. Students, their families and members of staff have been asked to join the Pride parade through the streets of York to celebrate acceptance without exception for the LGBT community in the city.
