We realise the importance of providing support and acceptance to all young people and believe that through education we can promote a culture that celebrates difference.
Millthorpe is a school of tolerance – understanding, respect and equality are at the heart of our school ethos. Our school rights clearly state this:
We want to ensure school is a place without fear of discrimination and bullying for all our students. We want all students to have an understanding and awareness of LGBT issues and as part of this we have already developed strong links to the York LGBT community and are continuing our work to becoming a Silver Stonewall Champion School.
The One 4 all project has been established to offer awareness, support and advice in regard to LGBT issues within school.
The group meets once a fortnight and is open to all students, not just those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or are questioning their sexuality. Some students may wish to attend to support friends or to ask questions about how to support friends or family members. The purpose of the meetings is to discuss various topics surrounding LGBT, as well as other issues of intolerance such as racism and sexism.
Drop in sessions run every other week offering students access to discreet advice and support on LGBT topics. The dates, times and locations are advertised on the LGBT notice board which is in the Main Hall corridor outside B5. This also features information on where and how support is available to students in and out of school and gives details on upcoming events for the Millthorpe LGBT community. There are various advice leaflets covering a range of topics that are free for students to take.
It's Transition Day on Wednesday 3 July, from 8.45am (students should meet in the Main Hall) to 3.15pm 🌟 We're excited to see everyone again!

Congratulations to Joely, Sam, Mathilde and Ervin in Year 8 who came first at the Physics Olympics last week, beating 27 other schools from across the UK! 🏆 🌟
We are super proud of their achievement!
Across our @SBMatYork family of schools, we know that the parents/guardians of our pupils have hugely varied, exciting careers. We're keen to interview as many adults as possible about their career journey and we’d love you to be involved! Find out more: https://buff.ly/4efAOQo
