Gender in the classroom

Jump to:

At Stonewall, we believe that all young people have the right to an empowering learning environment, regardless of their gender. That’s why we have worked with UCL, Cardiff University and University of Brighton to develop a new training course for schools.

This course, available in various locations in England, equips teachers with the tools to understand and tackle harmful gender stereotypes in schools. This course is available to primary schools, secondary schools and colleges.

Stonewall is working with the Government Equalities Office to offer free bespoke training to eligible primary schools. If more than 14% of your pupils are eligible for Pupil Premium and you’re based in an eligible area, you could apply for a free training package for your school.
