Schools Programmes - The Kite Trust

Our school-based programmes have been developed in collaboration with young people, teachers and other experts to ensure they meet the needs of our community. From January 2026, the Schools team will be providing a range of programmes and support across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and surrounding areas, including:

Break The Bias workshops: School workshops for Year 7’s and 8’s to help build empathy and understanding and explore attitudes and behaviours which may lead to LGBTQ+phobia, bullying and hate crime

Building Bridges programme: A 6-week restorative programme for young people at risk of/engaging in hate-based behaviours

Safe To Be sessions: Individualised support sessions for LGBTQ+ young people experiencing bullying

Additional training and support for schools participating in the Rainbow Flag Award

Additional support for Rainbow Flag Award schools

The Rainbow Flag Award is a nationally recognised programme which encourages a whole organisation approach to LGBTQ+ inclusion, as well as developing strategies to effectively challenge and combat transphobic, homophobic and biphobic bullying. The Kite Trust supports participating schools across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, and the Creating Supportive Environment project seeks to provide additional support to these schools through a range of approaches. If you are a Cambridgeshire based school currently doing the Rainbow Flag Award, please feel free to reach out to us at create@thekitetrust.org.uk if you would like some additional training or support.
