The Rainbow Flag Award is a national quality assurance framework for all schools and youth-centred organisations. The award focuses on positive LGBT+, (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, plus other related identities), inclusion and visibility.

The Rainbow Flag Award encourages a whole organisation approach to LGBT+ inclusion, as well as developing strategies to effectively challenge and combat LGBTphobic bullying.

By committing Thurstable School to the Rainbow Flag Award we have made a commitment to improve the lives of all the young people that we work with, as well as the LGBT+ young people themselves, those from LGBT+ families, and LGBT+ staff members.
