Students and staff at The Hyndburn Academy proudly wore red in support of Wear It Red Day, joining the national campaign led by Show Racism the Red Card to raise awareness of racism and promote equality and inclusion.
The school community came together to send a clear message that racism has no place in our school or society. By wearing red, students and staff demonstrated their commitment to celebrating diversity, challenging discrimination and ensuring that everyone feels valued, respected and included.
We are particularly proud that, during our Ofsted visit in May, students shared that
“They are proud of the diversity of our school community.” This reflects the positive culture we strive to build, where differences are celebrated and every individual is encouraged to feel a sense of belonging.
Principal Mr Wazir said:
“We are incredibly proud of the diversity within our school community and the respect our students show towards one another. Wear It Red Day is an important opportunity to reinforce the message that racism and discrimination are never acceptable. We want every student to feel safe, valued and included, and we all have a responsibility to challenge prejudice and treat others with dignity and respect.”
Our participation in Wear It Red Day reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting equality, fostering positive relationships and preparing students to become respectful and responsible members of society.
By standing together, we can help create a school environment where everyone belongs, differences are celebrated and racism is challenged whenever it occurs.
We celebrate diversity. We stand together. We show racism the red card.
