School of Sanctuary

St. Mary’s has enrolled as a School of Sanctuary and is undertaking a programme of learning, action and sharing with inclusion at the heart of all activities. The students and staff learn the many ‘whys and hows’ of giving sanctuary, especially to refugees, migrants, marginalised ethnic minorities and other vulnerable groups. We are encouraged to model and celebrate diversity and difference, striving to ensure that every child or young person respects the identities, cultures and values of others. We are committed to taking a stance against prejudice and racism and are proud to stand in solidarity with minority, marginalised and vulnerable students, their families and communities.
