Discussion
I have noticed a comment about this article that it may require a cleanup from a neutral point of view. I have tried to keep the language neutral and factual and supported points made by use of references. I will have a review and see if anything needs to be altered.

I have made one amendment so far - removed reference to the annual great rainbow bake-off competition run by Educate & Celebrate. Although factually corect, it may seem rather promotional and supported by a press article. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 22:29, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
I have removed the reference to the TES 'highly commended teacher of the year award'. I cannot find a reference in the public domain to this right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk • contribs) 00:40, 6 December 2014 (UTC) Signature added JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 01:49, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Following further feedback, I have removed two further paragraphs under the 'Educate & Celebrate' heading as further advice given indicated they were not biographical. Plus I have added 4 x newspaper citations; 3 x Guardian and 1 x Independent in response to your notability point. There are other news references I could add if necessary but these 4 are the key ones I think. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 13:33, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
I note the point and disagree about this reading like a news release or advert. I am happy to debate this point further on this page, will review the language used throughout and cite more references in the next few days. In addition Educate & Celebrate is a registered charity (registration number 1159367) so there is no commercial gain from this. It is an attempt to be a factual and supported biog of an individual who has spent over 10 years challenging LGBT discrimination in the education system in the UK, work that has been recognised as successful by the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OfSTED). Thanks to the admins who have provided advise and helped me create this doc - it has been interesting and I am ready to help edit more articles on wikipedia now I have a much better understanding of it all!

I have been advised to add a different photo so will ensure this happens. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
I have removed the reference to her being a 'Huffpost blogger' in line with referencing guidelines. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 19:31, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
A new image has been uploaded that does not have the Educate & Celebrate image on so the new one is not promotional - this is in response to advice provided by Admin JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 22:12, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Journalist names added against news references and categories added JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 23:09, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Article is no longer an orphan - link added between Elly Barnes and Stoke Newington School – Media Arts & Science College where Elly and her work is mentioned. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 09:03, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Wiki link to the page LGBT History Month added as Elly was one of the people that initiated this in 2005 JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
