An anti-racist approach

At Pattishall CE Primary,  we are committed to deeply educating our staff and children within an anti-racist environment.  

We acknowledge colour. 

We challenge overt racism. 

We are unpicking institutionalised racism and unconscious bias. 

We are teaching our children the best that has been thought and said from across the globe. 

We are doing this within our enquiry led curriculum.  Our children are not afraid to ask questions in order to formulate their own ideas and stand up for what is right. 

Jadon Sancho spoke out for the first time after he and his teammates Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka received racist abuse following England's Euro 2020 defeat.

The 21-year-old sent a message of support to other young people who have received similar abuse.

Sancho, Rashford and Saka were the three players who missed penalties in the 3-2 shootout against Italy on Sunday.

Soon after England's defeat, the players became the targets of racist abuse on social media.

Sancho wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday: "I’m not going pretend that I didn’t see the racial abuse that me and my brothers Marcus and Bukayo received after the game, but sadly it's nothing new.

Following England's defeat at the Euro's - it is a good opportunity to speak to the children about racism and bullying. Everything we do at Pattishall is done with love. Hate will never win.
