The school is delighted to celebrate the continued success of its Pride Club, whose pupil-created banner was proudly displayed throughout Pride Month at the Margate Queer Library.

The banner has been so warmly received that it will remain on display until Christmas, providing even more visitors with the opportunity to view and appreciate the pupils' creativity and message of pride.

Members of the school community, including pupils, families, staff and local residents, are warmly encouraged to visit the library and see the banner for themselves.
