Being Me: a Celebration of Difference for KS2

Celebrate Pride Month through this PSHE event exploring our individuality and encouraging pupils to be proud of the diversity within our communities.

Hair Love (2019)

Date: 16 June 2026
Time: 10:30am to 12:30pm
Location: BFI Southbank

Event details

This PSHE event takes pupils through a series of short films to explore what makes us all different. We will touch on some of the legally ‘protected characteristics’, specifically: race, sex, disability and sexual orientation and, through examples of characters in short films, discuss why we should celebrate what makes us unique. Pupils will have a chance to share their opinions, to think about what they are proud of and to feel empowered to be themselves.

Whilst we will reference that it is Pride Month, the event focuses more on taking pride in your own identity, whatever this is and celebrating that we are all different. Pupils leave the event feeling positive about themselves and their communities.

This event supports the statutory Primary relationships education curriculum and promotes British Values with a specific focus on tolerance and respect. As with all of our events, if you would like more information about the event please do get in touch with us.
