As a School of Sanctuary, we are proud to show our support for
Refugee Week 2023. This year the theme is 'Compassion' and our aim is to make sure all children understand what this looks like in action, to ensure that we are extending it widely to all. During the week, the children spent time looking at different sanctuary themed books and responded through discussion, music, art, poetry or dance. To spread compassion within our school community our Welcome Committee hosted a coffee morning for newly arrived families and within our local community by making 'Welcome to Coventry' packs for the Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre. On Friday, the children showed their support by wearing something orange (inspired by the lifebelt) and donated money to be split between Carriers of Hope, CRMC and Schools of Sanctuary. Year 6 children also sold orange hearts, which represents hope, an image developed with refugee organisations and people who are refugees themselves. Thank you to all the families that donated recipes towards our 'Cook For Coventry' recipe book- we were so pleased with the
range and diversity of the recipes collected
