PSHE / RSE
The PSHE material was trialled with Year 9 students at Heritage High School, Clowne.
"I have learnt the earlier on in time people couldn’t have pride in their sexuality and wasn’t free to be happy with who they were and how they felt." Year 9 Girl
"It is important for young people to learn this so that they don’t judge people, for their sexuality, in the future they can then understand more and learn to be okay with people being gay." Year 9 Girl

Dear Historic England Education Officer,
We think there is value in teaching children our age about people such as Ann Lister and Edward Carpenter because they are remarkable, courageous people that should not be criticised or forgotten.
Learning about the LGBT past gives the children the potential to see how people were treated in the past and how they should be treated now. Also, if anybody is questioning their sexuality it gives them the confidence to be open about it and not ashamed. This should definitely be taught into the future so that being gay is associated as normal as much as being straight is.
We enjoyed learning about LGBT because it allows us the chance to be put in other people’s shoes. Learning about this could potentially prevent discrimination of gay rights and lesbian rights.
Yours sincerely
