8.00am to 11.00am & 4.00pm to 5.30pm

What: This is the Annual Conference of the Association of School and College Leaders . The ASCL is the second-biggest headteachers’ trades union with over 18,500 members. It’s pro-RSE and terrified the subject might be ‘derailed’ because of ‘objections’.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Who: Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi MP is on at 10.50am on Friday 11th. Registration opens at 8:00am so that is when we shall gather to pray, witness and give leaflets to delegates.
Who: Ofsted Chief Inspector Amanda Spielman is scheduled for 9.50am on Saturday 12th. The conference closes at 3.00pm. We want to be there when the people leave the venue.
Background
Why: Sex education, now called in the UK ‘ Relationships and Sex Education, is always too much, too graphic and too soon. Its outcomes are shockingly poor. The UK experiences the highest levels of teenage pregnancies in Europe. We now have the worst levels of STD’s ever. Teen suicide is shocking, driven in part by sexual expectations and demands. Meanwhile, child-on-child sex abuse is soaring.
RSE promotes homosexuality and deviant sexual practices. It advances ‘trans’ ideology, encouraging children into ‘gender dyspohria’ and puberty-blocking hormones. That all amounts to child abuse.
RSE provides an open door for ideological activists like Andrew Moffat. He developed the gay propaganda programme ‘No Outsiders’ while working as a teacher in Birmingham schools. In 2019 he piloted ‘No Outsiders’ at Parkfield Community School off Alum Rock Road. Parents protested at the school and called for Moffat to go. ‘No Outsiders’ is still in use in schools.
Amanda Spielman has constantly condemned parental protests and called for ‘sane, rational discussion’. If a policy was ‘not working well enough’ then ‘it’s proper conversation that will change it, not protests,’ she sniffed. It’s breathtaking establishment arrogance. Talking to these elitists changes nothing. Only strong parental opposition will make them leave our children alone.
Education is the responsibility of parents
The Bible makes clear that parents are responsible for teaching their children the right way to go:
Deut 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (KJV)
The word of God encourages modesty:
1Tim 2:9a In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel…
The Lord Jesus had harsh words for those who lead children astray:
Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. (‘offend:’ Greek ‘skandalizo’, ‘entrap’, ‘lead astray’.)
RSE Guidelines
Parents have no right now to take their children out of ‘Relationships Education’ in primary schools, where all the homosexual propaganda happens or out of any part of RSE in secondaries. In Wales there is no parental opt-out at all.
Back in 2019, Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: ‘… it is of course vital that, by the time they become adults and participate in British society, pupils understand, respect and value all the protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010.’ Those ‘characteristics’ include homosexuality and transsexualism. So the Government think it’s ‘vital’ that pupils ‘respect and value’ homosexuality and transsexualism?
That was a declaration of cultural – or religious – war.
What we’ll do and why
Psalm 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
We’ll pray, sing and hand out the leaflets to those attending the conference and set up our banners (feel free to bring a banner with a scripture verse) in the name of the Lord. Above all, we’ll show by our presence that Govt RSE is wrong and parents need a cast-iron opt-out from all of it.
We were present handing out leaflets in March 2019 and there was no conference in either 2020 or 2021. So this opportunity really is heaven-sent. If you are close enough, please come and bring your church members and children and everyone. If not, pray for it to be well-supported and noticed on high.
So, if you can, please come. If not, pray!

We’ll really appreciate your support
