Image provided by Cathays High school.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nA high school in Cardiff was officially recognised last month following their dedicated support of refugee children from around the world.<br \/>\nCathays High school received the accreditation from Citizens UK, a community organising group, and NASWUT, a teachers union. The award acknowledges their commitment to supporting vulnerable children and their families.<br \/>\nAmanda Portlock-White, a senior member of staff, says, \u201cThe award is recognition for the excellent work that goes on at this school with some very vulnerable young people.There are\u2026young people who have been granted the right to remain in the UK because of the intervention of the school. A significant number of children are able to go on to university and study courses ranging from Engineering to Accounting to Biomedical Science after their time with us.\u201d<br \/>\nThe school, which aims to become a \u2018school of sanctuary\u2019, has a number of staff responsible for ensuring the well-being of refugee students and offers several areas of support through their refugee welcome plan. New and current students are partnered to help them settle in and a school counsellor is available for those who need it.<br \/>\nAmanda says, &#8220;All parents of children from a refugee background have the opportunity to attend a parent education programme at the school. Parents are able to attend adult ESOL lessons&#8230;leading to qualifications for them. This is all paid for by the school.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Well done to Cathays High on gaining official accreditation for being a \u2018Refugee Welcome\u2019 school.

As well as hopes to provide a \u2018welcome pack\u2019 containing essentials such as a local bus time-table, toiletries and a teddy-bear, they also want to raise awareness of the problems refugees face in Cathays. \u201cWe are looking to extend our work into the community with some lobbying on behalf of people from a refugee background,\u201d says Amanda.<br \/>\nAmanda says, \u201cIt is a privilege to teach young people from such backgrounds. They have a thirst for knowledge and value the importance of education after what so many of them have been through. Their resilience and positivity is very humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cathays High school receives recognition for its support to refugee children from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":444,"featured_media":26458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,14],"tags":[767],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-26313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-global-city","category-politics-social-justice","tag-refugees"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
