Pride at Culford 2022

On The Air with Culford School

Join Senior School pupils Arabella and Elizabeth as they discuss topics focused on the LGBTQ+ community in support of Pride Month.

Within the episode, our hosts talk to the Head of English & Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead, Ms Radlett, about what it means to be an ally, how the English curriculum at Culford supports diversity and which LGBTQ+ literature resources are available to young adults.

The episode features a zoom interview with trans woman and LGBTQ+ rights activist Petra Wenham. She is the first trans woman to feature on the cover of the WI magazine after transitioning, aged 68. In an insightful conversation, pupils discuss her groundbreaking WI feature, the influence of the internet and her experience transitioning as an older person.

Closing the show, hosts are joined by Leo, one of Culford's Upper Sixth pupils who established Culford's LGBTQ+ pupil support group. He shares his own experiences of transitioning, defines a handful of LGBTQ+ terminologies and discusses his next steps in life after Culford.
