Senior School Spotlight: PrideSoc
PrideSoc was formed at Highgate Senior School in 2009 by teacher Mr Plaistowe who runs the sessions every Friday lunchtime with fellow teacher Mr Jack. The society was one of the first of its kind to be founded in a school, offering pupils a safe space and a platform to openly represent the LGBTQ+ community, regardless of their sexual orientation. We spoke to pupils for our Highgate Voices blog series, as they prepared to take part in the iconic Pride Parade in London alongside their peers at London Academy of Excellence, Tottenham.
