Last week, Northampton High School celebrated Pride Month with the aid of FemSoc. Events included an informative assembly covering the subject of Gender and Sex, where FemSoc members covered definitions, the court ruling on the definition of a woman and different views on the subject to give the school community an informed analysis. FemSoc members also organised a lunch with the LGBTQIA+ support group and charity ‘Under the Umbrella’ to discuss the topic further and find out what support is available in the local community. Last Thursday, FemSoc members hosted a Pride-themed bake sale to raise money for ‘Under the Umbrella’. The sale included rainbow iced cupcakes and mini pride flags on all the baked goods. The bake sale was very successful, raising £130. Overall, the whole school community has had the opportunity to participate in the Pride celebrations led by FemSoc this week.
