Croxley Danes Pride Walk for Rainbow Friday

Last Friday lunchtime, over 40 students and staff came together on the school playing field to participate in Croxley Danes’ very first Pride Walk as part of Rainbow Friday. Students were encouraged to wear colourful accessories or bring flags to school to show their support for the LGBT+ community. 

It was wonderful to see the students come together, especially those who attended in support of their friends. Having Barney, the therapy dog, run alongside the walk in his Progress Pride neckerchief was just another highlight of this wonderful school community event. 

Kyle from the charity Just Like Us attended and praised the school for its visible and powerful support for LGBT+ students. He said, “It is always so special to be able to visit the schools that we work with and see how impactful LGBT+ inclusion is for both pupils and staff. It was fantastic to see the school community come together to show their support for their LGBT+ pupils in such a visible and powerful way. I was really grateful to be able to be part of the Pride Walk and see such warm support and active allyship from so many in the school community.”

Ms Tomarchio who helped organise the walk shared her pride in the event, saying, “I was very proud to witness our school’s first Pride Walk and see the warm participation of many students and staff.”

The walk was a great success and a wonderful celebration of Pride, inclusion, and diversity. Croxley Danes is proud to have set a strong precedent for future events, ensuring that everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated. Thank you to Ms Tomarchio, Mrs Boyd, Mrs Graham, our dedicated Safe Space students, and the Just Like Us team for their efforts in organising the event.
