β€˜We don’t feel safe’: equity still missing for Black pupils in Britain’s schools, report warns - Voice Online The lived-experiences of Black students differs majorly from equity statements in schools across Lambeth and Southwark

This is not an England problem only. Here in Scotland despite the rise in hate crimes & presence of the far right, many schools still are not acknowledging it let alone offering support to learners that are feeling anxious & scared.

That's not good enough.

As we approach #SchoolsLinking Celebration Week it's great to see how some of our classes have been spending their class visits - thank you Shaftesbury & Market Harborough for your pics!
Through fun activities the two classes of children got to know each other better & friendships quickly formed.
