A headteacher told his pupils that he was gay and introduced his husband to them in a moving assembly. Colin Scott, who leads Risedale School in Hipswell, North Yorkshire, made the move on Monday.
It's believed he is the first UK state school head to come out as gay to his pupils. Mr Scott, 54, has since thanked his husband, staff and governors at the school, reports YorkshireLive, which said that the Mail Online reported that the assembly was held to mark Pride Month.
Mr Scott announced that he was gay by introducing his 512 pupils to his husband, Drew Dalton. The couple were joined by Hanna Johnson, North Yorkshire Police's LGBTQ+ representative, and Lt Colonel Jim Turner, the openly gay commander at Catterick Garrison.
