• Schools of Sanctuary Update

  Fri 15 Aug 2025

  Newlands Primary is aware that some inaccurate and misleading information about our School of Sanctuary status has been shared online, including suggestions about activities we have never taken part in.
  
  To be clear, our school has never participated in the activity described. These claims are untrue and do not reflect who we are as a school community.
  
  Newlands Primary is proud to be a place where every child and family is welcomed and respected, regardless of background. We believe in treating everyone with kindness and fairness, and we expect our whole community to uphold these values.
  
  Being recognised as a School of Sanctuary means we are dedicated to making sure every child and family feels safe, supported, and able to thrive. Safeguarding is, and always will be, our highest priority.
  
  The programme is not political — it is about understanding, compassion, and building a community where everyone belongs.
