Celebrating Pride

We believe all young people should feel represented and included in their learning.

That's why we are proud to have been joined by so many educators at the Pride in Education conference and support worldwide efforts to build inclusive learning environments.

We've also created a range of research and resources that you're welcome to use in your schools beyond Pride month:

Pride in Education poem by Trudy Howson LGBTQ+, Poet Laureate

LGBT+ Inclusive Curriculum Guides for Primary and Secondary Created by Stonewall, sponsored by Pearson

Diversity and inclusion in schools report: draws on the perspectives of academics, students and educators, as recent research shows that 80% of UK teachers believe more can be done to celebrate diverse cultures, people and experiences in education

History topic of the month: Stonewall 1969 Worksheets and posters focused on the origins of Pride Month and Pride colours

Alan Turing: factsheet, classroom poster and primary workbook

Scientific Spotlight on... Neena Schwartz: Our scientific spotlight for Pride Month is dedicated to American endocrinologist, feminist and LGBTQ+ advocate, Neena Schwartz

Case study: History and Politics teacher Bex Bothwell-O’Hearn, shares her views on LGBT+ inclusion in history and what she’s doing to celebrate more diversity across her school.

The Life of Dr Harold Moody

The Life of Dr Harold Moody, written by Stephen Bourne, celebrates one of history's forgotten heroes, despite being regarded by some as the UK’s equivalent of Dr Martin Luther King Jnr, for his significant contributions towards the fight for racial equality in the UK.

Pearson is proud to have worked with Stephen Bourne to produce a new online version of his original booklet, The Life of Dr Harold Moody, to raise awareness of the life and achievements of Dr Moody. This eBook is freely accessible for primary and secondary schools to download, and includes discussion points for use with your class.

Creating an LGBT-inclusive Curriculum

Almost half of LGBT pupils (45%) are bullied for being themselves, while two in five (40%) are never taught anything about LGBT issues.

We’re proud to sponsor the Stonewall LGBT-inclusive Curriculum Guides for primary and secondary schools, which seek to change this.

LGBT-inclusive teaching helps tackle anti-LGBT bullying and creates learning environments where everyone feels accepted.

Gender Equality Guidelines to tackle gender stereotyping in education

In November of last year we announced the launch of the Gender Equality Guidelines, a first-of-its-kind commitment by a learning company to tackle gender bias and stereotyping in education.

Pearson will use the guidelines to develop all their future textbooks, digital resources and qualifications in a major step forward in supporting children across the UK to learn with gender-equal resource.
