Charter Bermondsey: Pride in Protest!

This Pride Month, Charter  Bermondsey has embodied the “Rise up: Pride in Protest!” theme, fostering empathy, allyship, and a deep sense of belonging for all.

In English, students analysed Stonewall Riot accounts and wrote from a 1960s journalist’s perspective, while Spanish and French classes learned the language of protest. Religious Studies explored diverse scriptural interpretations on LGBTQ+ issues and the evolving attitudes of religious communities. History delved into Alan Turing’s World War II contributions and the historical control over sexuality in the Middle Ages.

Beyond the classroom, our computing students took part in a competition to redesign the school logo for Pride. Weibeau’s winning entry captures this wonderfully!

Fostering allyship has been a focus this month with both staff and students connecting with Mosaic, a local LGBTQ+ charity. Klara from Mosaic led an inspiring assembly and continues to engage directly with pupils through weekly visits.

Charter Bermondsey is proud to champion an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, understood, and empowered.
