Junior Chaplains' Work on Ethnicity Equality

Inspired by our school principle of Grace (respect and co-operate), 12 members of the Junior Chaplains designed a survey to explore Key Stage Two pupils’ self-reported feelings of belonging, inclusion and value. Following this, pupils and the Deputy Headteacher collated results, determined areas for improvement and co-wrote an action plan, which included: running a ‘Secret Angel’ initiative aimed at inspiring others to show respect and kindness to all; preparing and running an assembly for Key Stage Two; increasing opportunities for reporting concerns; and training a small group of pupils in how to support their peers in situations where they may experience discrimination. In the autumn term, the Deputy Head shared key findings from the survey, including some patterns of minor behaviours and comments being experienced by some pupils in the school. The Junior Chaplains were introduced as peer support available if pupils wished to talk about a concern.
