At Holy Cross R.C. School we are proud to have been awarded School of Sanctuary status in recognition of the work we do to foster a culture of welcome, belonging and solidarity for those seeking safety. 

What is a School of Sanctuary?

• A school that fosters a culture of welcome and safety for people seeking sanctuary, including asylum seeking and refugee families.
• A school that educates the whole school community about the experiences and realities of people who have been forced to flee to foster empathy and understanding.
• A school that plays an active role in building a culture of welcome by connecting with and supporting local refugee organisations, collaborating with other institutions to raise awareness and advocate for a kinder approach towards those seeking safety.
