Students at Cheadle Hulme School recently welcomed a special guest.
Students at Cheadle Hulme School were given a lesson in language when they were visited by Stonewall ambassador Sir Ian McKellen who presented an assembly about homophobia and the impact of homophobic bullying.
Sir Ian talked to the students in Years 10 to 13 about being aware of the words they use and his personal experiences of prejudice throughout the years.
Year 7 and Year 13 students also took part in a Q&A with Sir Ian about ‘Inspiring Young People To Be Themselves’ while students of GCSE and A-Level Drama met with him to discuss how theatre and the arts can be used to tackle the issues of homophobia.
