LGBTQ+ Resources for Students & Parents

Sawtry Village Academy & The Rainbow Flag Award

SVA is proud to have received the Rainbow flag Award reaccreditation (following our original accreditation in 2021). This is a very welcome recognition and a sign that reflects what an inclusive school community we are.

A huge thank you to the students and staff members involved in securing the award, which involves showing that you have supportive staff, inclusive policies, welcoming governors, students who are educated on LGBTQ+ related issues, and a diverse curriculum.

Thank you to Bethan from the Proud Trust for visiting us to see this in action.
