Promoting Inclusive Practice
mural located at Magdalen Gates Primary School
A School of Sanctuary is a school that aspires to make everyone feel safe, included and welcomed. They have an ethos which sees everyone as equal, valued members of their community. Promoting inclusion and celebrating diversity are an integral part of this journey and we are fortunate to have Schools of Sanctuary in Norfolk leading by example by sharing and spreading their good practice.
Below you can watch a lecture about inclusion and Schools of Sanctuary given in March 2021 by Will Turnpenny, School of Sanctuary Lead at Magdalen Gates, to trainee teachers for Norfolk Teacher Training Centre
“At Magdalen Gates Primary we are proud of our vibrant, diverse and welcoming community. Our status as a School of Sanctuary is central to this, teaching our pupils about the importance of refuge, sanctuary and welcome, starting on our own doorsteps.”
- Mr Will Turnpenny, Assistant Head & Inclusion Lead
