The Directors of Respect and Relationships ran respect and relationships workshops for Shell, Remove and Fifth Formers during the last week of term. These workshops were organised to support the initiative on improving respect and relationships throughout the school. They addressed the concepts of听sexism,听toxic masculinity, positive masculinity and how听the college听can redefine听the concept for a positive culture shift.听听听

听Matt Pinkett, teacher,听established author and self-confessed 鈥榚x-toxic lad鈥�, talked to each of the year groups听about听the important issues. He听explored the concept of 鈥榯oxic masculinity鈥� 鈥� what it means and why it can sometimes be a loaded term. Matt facilitated group discussion on听why it is an issue in schools and society. Also, what everyone can do to challenge negative ideas, reinforce positive听masculinity and relationships between all genders.

听The year groups split into听smaller mixed groups to complete a range of听interactive听tasks. These included听quizzes听on facts and figures relating to听everyday听sexism. A discussion听of the law and government policy on sexual听harassment, consent in schools and the concept of a 鈥榤an box鈥� in which negative and stereotypical male behaviours were challenged. The students came up with a new 鈥榤an box鈥� in which positive masculinity was championed, with helpful ideas to improve these issues.听As a collective, they discussed 鈥榬edefining masculinity at 性世界传媒鈥�.

“ The feedback from staff and pupils has been brilliant. We hope these workshops - which tackle controversial but important issues - will help to continue a much-needed societal culture shift ” Andrew Daville and Rebecca Bownas, Directors of Respect and Relationships
