Head’s Up from Mr Davies
Thank You for Supporting Wear Red Day
We’re really grateful for your support on Show Racism the Red Card – Wear Red Day. It’s a powerful way for our school community to stand together against racism and promote respect and inclusion.
In a recent letter to us from the Director of Education, there are a few points we wanted to share with families:
- Racial incidents are taken seriously and dealt with under safeguarding and equality policies.
- RVE (Religion, Values and Ethics) is a required part of the curriculum for all pupils. It’s about understanding different beliefs, not practicing religion.
- If you ever see misinformation online about our school, please let us know so we can respond appropriately.
Thanks again for helping us make Brynmill a safe, inclusive space for every child.
