Woolton Primary School

WPS School of Sanctuary 2023-24
We are very proud to have achieved School of Sanctuary Status in September 2023. 
A School of Sanctuary is a school that is committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all,
especially those seeking sanctuary. This could be people whose lives were in danger in their own
country, who have troubles at home or are just looking for a space of safety.

A School of Sanctuary is a school that helps its children, staff and wider community understand
what it means to be seeking sanctuary and to extend a welcome to everyone as equal, valued
members of the school community. It is a school that is proud to be a place of safety and
inclusion for all.
There are three simple principles to being a School of Sanctuary:
1. Learn about what it means to be seeking sanctuary.
2. Take positive Action to embed concepts of welcome, safety and inclusion within school and
the wider community.
3. Share - your vision and achievements - be proud!
We will keep you updated about our progress.

In February and March 2023, Mr Mohamed from Asylum Link UK has visited school to talk to all classes about Merseyside Asylum Link as follows:
KS1: Introduce the idea that some people have to leave their homes and look at the choices
they have to make.
KS2: Look at a family, their origins and their journey.
