Description
Summary:A primary school in Bradford and a secondary school in Oldham employ a range of approaches to promote community cohesion. At Allerton Primary School in Bradford headteacher Sharon Lambert has focused on breaking down barriers in the community by creating a welcoming atmosphere for all parents. Lead teacher on community cohesion Meg Henry supports Year 5 teacher Janet Keefe and bilingual teaching assistant Nelofar Khan to plan and deliver a lesson on identity. At Breeze Hill School in Oldham, headteacher Bernard Phillips uses creative transition projects, such as drumming classes, to bring students from different backgrounds together. New student supporters ensure that EAL students are helped to settle and integrate into the school community, and staff such as TA Dave Hibbert are recruited from the local area to help make the school a big part of the community.
