As you will be aware, there has been a lot of news about the ‘Black Lives Matter’ campaign. As a school community we would like us to take some time to reflect and celebrate all of our wonderful differences and to remember that everybody should be treated equally and with respect.
June is also Pride month. This is an opportunity for us to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities around the world and promote equality.
Please see the attached document for guidance, resources and activities to support you with talking about these important topics with your children at home.
