A Christian parent governor has been reinstated by the High Court after being dismissed for raising concerns with the trans-affirming sex ed policy at her children’s primary school.

According to The Christian Institute (CI), the success of the case will reassure parents and school governors of their right to challenge inappropriate teaching on gender and sexuality in schools.

‘Susan’ (not her real name), has been granted anonymity by the Court in order to protect her children. She reached a legal settlement with the school after being kicked off its Governing Body for pointing out legal errors in its Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) policy.

The Governing Body and Local Authority have both accepted that the decision to remove Susan was unlawful.
