As part of this year’s Hate Crime Awareness Week, students took part in RSHE lessons exploring the impact and consequences of prejudice, discrimination, and hostility towards others.

They learned how hate crimes can target individuals because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or gender identity, and reflected on the importance of respect and inclusion.

To show their support, students created posters and hand-shaped cut-outs featuring positive messages, which will be displayed around the school to promote kindness and awareness.
