The School of Sanctuary  are a growing network of more than 1200 primary and secondary schools, nurseries and sixth forms all committed to creating a culture of welcome, understanding and belonging for those forced to flee.

We are thrilled to announce that we are the FIRST School of Sanctuary in Suffolk! We are committed to being a safe and welcoming place for all children including migrants and refugees.

At Wood Ley, pupils are taught about the difficulties that people experience around the world, which builds empathy and understanding. We encourage visitors to the school to ensure the pupils have a broad understanding of the wider world as well as their own culture and identity. Since the launch of the award, we have continued to diversify our curriculum and build in additional sanctuary-themed opportunities for our pupils. Please feel free to look at our School of Sanctuary annual reviews.

We would welcome any suggestions or ideas that you may have as we continue our School of Sanctuary journey. Please contact Miss Kay to discuss.
