Across the country teachers are becoming worried about the social media influence of Andrew Tate. Our concern is that his influence is affecting the beliefs and values of some of our students, and Tate's misogynistic beliefs are spreading into school. We are having conversations with students in school on a daily basis and are taking these opportunities to educate against misogynistic hate and towards our values of peace, respect and tolerance. We advise all parents to have a look at this resource and have open discussions with your children about the topic, to support us in keeping misogyny out of schools. If you have any concerns, please contact your child’s Associate Head of Year or a member of the DSL Team. |
