Locker Room
Background
The Locker Room was started in 2021 in response to wider issues such as the death of Sarah Everard. A group of students, with the support of staff members, are looking at ways we can make changes to reduce/ stop sexual harassment at Bishop Luffa. We have created a safe space where you can report, share and speak to people about experiences you have had. It gives students a voice to speak out and we hold regular meetings to review where we are at and our next steps.
How to get involved/report

Speak to your Form Tutor, Head of House or teacher

Our Recent Campaign - Call It Out

A large display has been put out outside the Bartlett Hall where students have pledged to 'Call It Out' if somebody is being sexually harassed, bullied or subjected to homophobia
