School of Sanctuary
Graiseley Primary School is working towards the School of Sanctuary Award
What is a School of Sanctuary?
​
It is a school that is committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all. We help pupils, staff and our 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.
As part of our School of Sanctuary initiative some of the things we aim to are:
-
Promote positive attitudes within schools and their communities around people seeking sanctuary
-
Be a place of safety and inclusion for all
-
Commit to welcoming and supporting people seeking sanctuary
-
Sign post families to Citizens Advice and Wolverhampton Council
-
Sign post families to access foodbanks and support to provide school uniform
-
Sign post families to the Graiseley Family Hub
-
Sign post to The Refugee Migrant Centre (RMC)
-
Liaise with education and welfare officers

Young Interpreters Scheme
​
This is a fantastic scheme where children support other children with little or no English. They speak a range of languages and support during break times to help children find friends and integrate into daily school life.
Our team of children receive training sessions, a badge, a notebook and an aide memoir to make them recognisable and to help them support our new children. It is a rewarding role and the successful candidates are selected because of the caring qualities they possess with a desire to help others.
