Recent Violent Disorders in the UK
Dear Parents/Carers
We hope you and your families are safe and well.
We wanted to reach out regarding the recent violent disorder in parts of the UK. Our thoughts are with anyone who has been affected.
We have been in regular contact with the Bradford police and local community leaders. Thankfully, our city has been peaceful, however, we know that that in our community, for people of colour and members of the Muslim community, the recent weeks have been particularly frightening and will have left many feeling vulnerable and anxious.
In our Trust, we stand firm against racism in all its forms. We will not tolerate any behaviour that goes against shared human values. Our school must be a safe space of hope and unity for all.
Included below, are the safety guidance the Race Equality Network in Bradford have shared with us that you and your family may find useful.
Staff will be on hand on results days to support any students who may have been affected by the events of the past few weeks.
We hope the remainder of your holiday is safe and enjoyable and we look forward to welcoming our students back in September.
Yours sincerely
Simon Wade, Headteacher
