London School Celebrates History Month

Stoke Newington School is a non-selective, state school, specialising in Arts, Maths, and Science in the London Borough of Hackney. For the past three years, thanks to one of their openly lesbian teachers' remarkable energy and vision, the school has been celebrating LGBT History Month by integrating it to the curriculum.
