From the Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
We put a lot of effort into providing the students at Holy Cross Catholic Primary School with a curriculum that is comprehensive, current, broad, balanced, and suitable to their requirements. Additionally, we honour the many varied cultural backgrounds that each student and family has via a variety of celebrations and learning. We also believe it is essential to openly teach our children about British history, culture, and traditions because many of our families and children are new to the country and are unfamiliar with the practises. The government's prevent plan entered into force on July 1st, 2015. This strategy aims to shield children from extremist ideologies and violent extremism. The school's motto is "Respect for Everyone," regardless of their worldview, ethnicity, or other distinctions.
