Proud to be Penpol

Many children grow up wondering where they fit in the world. This is especially the case for those subjected to misunderstanding or prejudice because of who they are. During our Free To Be Me day, the children of Penpol did something amazing in celebrating the uniqueness in all of us. Every child has the right to grow up feeling proud of who they are and who their family is and our pupils demonstrated this today by creating a humungous rainbow on the school field, sharing songs, flying flags about themselves and enjoying some activities on the theme in class.

We are very grateful to be joined by Eliot and Eliot from Cornwall Pride who talked about the work they do in supporting everyone in Cornwall to be proud of who they are. What an incredible day – well done and thank you to all involved!
