Being recognised as a School of Sanctuary means our school has shown a clear commitment to making sure every child and family feels welcomed, safe, and supported to thrive. Safeguarding is our highest priority.
The Schools of Sanctuary programme is not political — it simply helps schools to understand why people seek safety and to lead with kindness and humanity.
We are proud to be a school where every child feels safe, where individual needs are understood, and where pupils are equipped to be kind and thoughtful members of our community.
City of Sanctuary UK
A School of Sanctuary is a place that fosters a culture of welcome and safety for people seeking sanctuary. It is a school which educates their community about the human right to sanctuary, build empathy and intercultural awareness through promoting the voices and contributions of those seeking sanctuary. A School of Sanctuary encourages an awareness of the experiences that people face in order to reach sanctuary, helps to combat prejudice and challenges those stereotypes which can be linked to those seeking sanctuary.
At our school, we want all of our children to be confident, happy, and respectful individuals. We encourage everyone to become active learners, critical thinkers and problem solvers. We provide a language-rich curriculum that will strengthen resilience, foster ambition, remove barriers and increase experiences so that all our children can achieve their potential. Within our school we celebrate our diversity. With a multicultural community of pupils and their families, a mix of religions and over 40 languages spoken, we pride ourselves on being a school which is inclusive and welcoming to all.
