Social Justice and Community

At Kingsway, we commit to reach out and actively engage with our local communities. We lead on campaigns for social action and positive change by training our ambassadors to become an agency for and of the communities we serve. We aim to create safe spaces, where all aspects of social injustice can be discussed, addressed and challenged

We work regularly with Citizens UK on issues that affect our pupils and their families. More information about Citizens can be found here. At Kingsway, we want to improve children’s understanding of their mental health and wellbeing and to equip them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to look out for themselves, their friends and those around them.We work in partnership with Charlie Waller Trust and BACP to provide training, resources and advice to our children and their families.

Anti Racism and Social Justice

We actively promote racial equity at Kingsway Primary School and we work with Stephen Lawrence Research Centre to educate our staff and students about a fairer world we all would like to be part of. At Kingsway we have signed an Anti-Racism pledge and are committed to educating our children about the importance of equity and diversity. Our children understand the importance of being an upstander, not a bystander.

Anti Racist Statement

The LiFE values are at the heart of all we do and believe. It is an absolute
priority within all LiFE schools that everyone feels safe, welcomed and
included. This means that being an anti racist organisation is a key priority
for us. We operate a zero-tolerance approach towards all discrimination.
We believe it is imperative to address racism in all its forms and offer our
unambiguous support to all people of colour within our school community.
We wish to reassure you that all matters of racial discrimination, whether it
presents itself overtly or covertly, will be handled with the utmost care and
importance. We are very aware that education is a powerful vehicle of
change and as such, we pledge to;
• Improve the racial literacy of all our staff.
• Educate our pupils/students about racism in all its
forms.
• Develop our Anti-Racist policies and practices and
engage in dialogue with others to ensure that we all
feel proud to belong to an Anti-Racist School.
• Acknowledge racism as an inherent aspect of our
safeguarding duty.
