Warren Primary School is proud to be part of a diverse community where everyone is valued, respected and celebrated. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that reflects our school and Osborne Trust values, as well as the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

We believe that every child has the right to develop in a safe, supportive and inspiring setting, regardless of their background, heritage, identity, language or needs. Our curriculum, policies and daily practices are designed to promote equity and equality, challenge discrimination and ensure everyone's voice is heard and respected. We celebrate the uniqueness of our pupils and families, and work together to build a school culture where differences are embraced and hope that everyone feels a sense of belonging to our Warren Family.

Through assemblies, classroom learning, and community engagement, we encourage children to understand and appreciate the diverse world in which we live.

We aim to monitor and improve our approach to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome feedback, collaboration and shared learning with our community as we endeavour to ensure that our school remains a place where everyone is empowered to thrive and succeed and able to make a positive contribution to society.

Black History Month 2022 - Time for Change: Actions not Words

October is Black History Month in the UK and a time to celebrate the contribution black people have made over the centuries in shaping the dynamic and diverse country we have today. At Warren Primary we celebrated Black History Month through a series of events, workshops and assemblies, and are committed to recognise and teach Black History throughout the year within our daily curriculum. 

JB Rose, local singer and talented artist taught pupils songs in an assembly and the 'call and response songs' reverberated through the corridors all day as she spent time in different year groups. Her talk also focussed on mental health, healthy living and exploring ideas around self-belief. 

The educated and remarkable Sarah Appiah, lecturer in African studies and musician taught Year 6 pupils the history of 'slave songs', significance of the drum materials and shared amazing stories about the people who make these drums. 

Alex, a music teacher from the Caribbean taught pupils the history of Music from the Caribbean and how to play the mini steel drums.

Reception pupils read lots of stories including Handa's surprise, Handa's hen and baby goes to market and have also learnt about Mary Seacole and other people who help us. 

The Dynamic duo Mr and Mrs Rosemond-Justin, parents of our school, inspired pupils and staff with their personal life story. We were all inspired as they spoke about the previous careers, (Military service and Prison Officer) and current passions and charitable work. The charity that they have started "Across D Miles" embodies their motto of "Making a difference - one person at a time" and pupils and staff promised to follow in their good example and help make the world a better place. 

Panathlon Challenge 

James Dixon from Panathlon Challenge spent a lovely afternoon with the children in the Deaf Resource Base delivering a very special cricket session. James is an Ambassador for UK Deaf Sport and organises many SEND events for children.  Although James has been profoundly deaf since birth, this has not stopped him from doing things he loves.

He played football for a local club in Liverpool and is an Elite Cricketer for England Deaf Cricket.

The children in the Green room showed massive thumbs up as a form of gesture to show James what a fun time that they had.
