Schools of Sanctuary
In Summer 2024, we attained Schools of Sanctuary status. As such, we are dedicated to learn about refugees, asylum seekers and those seeking sanctuary, to embed good practices within St Michael's, and to share our work with our students, staff, and parents.
We are ensuring that we develop a culture within our school family of acceptance and inclusion despite our differences. Our Values of Love, Peace and Equality drive us towards this goal.
As part of this commitment, we have signed the City of Sanctuary pledge, which states the following:
“We support the ‘City of Sanctuary’ vision that the UK will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution.
We endorse the City of Sanctuary Charter, and agree to act in accordance with City of Sanctuary values and apply the network principles within our work (as far as our specific context enables us to).
We recognise the contribution of people seeking sanctuary. Sanctuary seekers are welcomed, included and supported within our context. We expect our branches or local groups (if any) to support their local City of Sanctuary group if one exists, and will facilitate contact between them and their local City of Sanctuary group.”
