Holton Primary School is an anti-racist school and we are committed to addressing racism in any form.  We aim to work with our children and community to be actively anti-racist as we do not believe that not being racist is enough.  Racism, in any form, is not tolerated at our school.  All pupils and staff have the right to be treated with respect and to feel safe, regardless of their ethnic background or identity.  If a racist incident occurs it will be thoroughly investigated and dealt with.  Help and support will be provided to all involved.  We are developing an anti-racist curriculum so that we are actively learning and teaching to decolonise our curriculum, be culturally competent and disrupt cycles of inequality.

 

Through our curriculum, we will foster a deep appreciation and recognition of different cultures and heritages. In order to promote equality and the inclusion of all ethnic groups, our diverse curriculum represents traditions, customs and beliefs from outside the school community as well as within.
During their time at Holton, children will be immersed in a curriculum which teaches the achievements of all cultures and celebrates the richness of the multicultural world that we live in.

 

Upon leaving Holton, children will:

 

Think:​

• Racism is wrong, understand why it is wrong and know what they can do to fight it

• Learning about a wide range of peoples, histories and cultures is important
   

Feel:​

• That Holton values all members of the community - we celebrate our similarities, differences and diversity

• Inspired to make the world a fairer and better place
   

Do:​

• Treat others respectfully and openly, and embrace diversity

• Think critically about the world, ask questions and strive to learn more

• Be well prepared, informed citizens who are passionate about social justice
