School of Sanctuary
Our School Of Sanctuary pledge
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 refugees and people seeking sanctuary to British society. Sanctuary seekers are welcomed, included and supported within our organisation.
At Evergreen Primary Academy, sanctuary seekers are welcomed, included, and supported. We strive to ensure that our school is a place where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.

As part of this journey, we are:

- Ensuring that newly arrived pupils can access the learning and support they need to thrive.
- Embedding our New Arrivals and EAL (English as an Additional Language) policies across the school.
- Making sure parents and carers can easily access key information and know where to turn for support.
- Actively consulting with families to understand how we can improve our provision and practice.
