Inverness Royal Academy win 2024 Proud Scotland Award for work on LGBTQ+ inclusion in education

Inverness Royal Academy have won a national award for their work on LGBTQ+ inclusion.

The secondary school took the education prize at the Proud Scotland Awards, which were held earlier tonight in Edinburgh.

In that category, the Royal Academy were up against the duo of Leigh Anderson and Mark Steenson, Louise Shields, Dunfermline’s Queen Anne High School and Scott Whitefield.

It is the second year in-a-row that the award has come up to the Highlands, as last year the same category was won by south area learning and education manager Fiona Shearer.

Education was not the only category to have a north winner either, as Pride In Moray took home the Charity/Group Initiative Award.
