Overview

• The annual FA Pride event remains scheduled for June 27 and will feature a family-friendly drag artist alongside activities such as a bake sale, face painting and a non-uniform day.
• Suella Braverman condemned the drag performance as “morally reprehensible” and a safeguarding risk, urging the school to withdraw its invitation.
• School leaders say the celebration aims to promote understanding of LGBTQ+ issues, raise funds for local charities and bring the community together.
• UK Government guidance encourages schools to integrate age-appropriate LGBTQ+ content into lessons rather than treating it as a standalone topic.
• Some parents have expressed concern about the inclusion of Pride flags and LGBTQ+ themes in primary education, reflecting a wider national debate on curricular inclusion.
