At SMRP we help our students, staff and wider community understand what it means to be seeking sanctuary and we extend a welcome to everyone as equal, valued members of the school community. SMRP is proud to be a place of safety and inclusion for all.
We support the ‘City of Sanctuary’ vision that the UK will be a welcoming place of safety for all and proud to offer sanctuary to people fleeing violence and persecution. We endorse the City of Sanctuary Charter, and agree to act in accordance with City of Sanctuary values and apply the network principles within our work (as far as our specific context enables us to). We recognise the contribution of refugees and people seeking sanctuary to British society. Sanctuary seekers are welcomed, included and supported within our organisation.
