Anti-Racism Statement

Bonneygrove and Millbrook Primary Federation

At Bonneygrove and Millbrook Primary Federation, we are committed to being an actively anti-racist school community. Every child, family member and member of staff has the right to feel safe, respected, valued and represented.

Racism, in any form, is not tolerated in our schools.

Our Commitment

Being anti-racist means more than simply not being racist. It means we will:

  • Challenge discrimination and prejudice whenever it occurs

  • Actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion

  • Teach children about fairness, justice and respect

  • Ensure all cultures, identities and backgrounds are valued

  • Listen to and learn from the experiences of our community

We are committed to creating an environment where differences are celebrated and every child feels a strong sense of belonging.

What This Means in Practice

In Our Curriculum

We ensure that our curriculum:

  • Reflects diverse voices, histories and perspectives

  • Celebrates contributions from different cultures and communities

  • Teaches children about equality, respect and human rights

  • Encourages critical thinking about stereotypes and discrimination

Through Personal Development, PSHE, History, English and other subjects, children learn about diversity in a meaningful and age-appropriate way.

In Our School Culture

We promote:

  • High expectations of respectful behaviour

  • Clear systems for reporting discriminatory incidents

  • Open conversations about identity and belonging

  • Ongoing staff training in equality and inclusion

All racist incidents are taken seriously, recorded and addressed in line with our behaviour and safeguarding procedures.

Support and Reporting

If you or your child experience or witness racism, please report it to the school so we can respond quickly and appropriately.

Working in Partnership with Families

We believe that strong partnerships with parents and carers are essential in building an inclusive school community. We encourage families to:

  • Speak to us if they have concerns

  • Share cultural experiences and traditions

  • Work with us to model respect and understanding

We are committed to listening, learning and continually improving.

Our Ongoing Journey

Becoming an anti-racist school is an ongoing commitment. We regularly review our policies, curriculum and practices to ensure they reflect our values and meet the needs of our diverse community.

Together, we will continue to build a school where:

  • Every child feels seen and heard

  • Diversity is celebrated

  • Equality is actively promoted

  • Racism is challenged

We are proud of our inclusive community and remain dedicated to ensuring that all children thrive in a culture of dignity, respect and belonging.
