Through self evaluation and quality\u00a0 assurance, including discussions with our children, we have decided to continue to focus on promoting and developing race equality and anti-racist education again this session. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Unfortunately we are aware of racist incidents that have occurred out with school within our local community. We, and schools across the country, also continue to\u00a0 manage a variety of racist incidents involving pupils in school. Whilst we have little control over what happens within our local communities and cannot control the actions of others, we will not tolerate racism of any kind within our school community. As such any racists incidents, such as name calling, will be\u00a0 managed as per our <\/b><b><i>Anti-Bullying Policy<\/i><\/b><b>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>To promote and develop racial equality families can support us by\u2014<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>encouraging positive and open conversations about race and racism at home<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>having conversations about race and racism often, not just when it&#8217;s in the news or when an incident occurs<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>supporting children to understand the lived experience of ethnically minority groups<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Families can find lots of helpful guidance on the NSPCC website below.
