On Tuesday this week we were pleased to welcome representatives from the Anthony Walker Foundation to deliver assemblies about hate crime.

Anthony Walker was an 18 year old student who was murdered in a racially motivated attack in Huyton in 2005. In 2006 the Anthony Walker Foundation was established to acknowledge and challenge prejudice, discrimination and inequality and promote peace, harmony and integrity.

We were joined by Mel Williams and Catherina Quinn from the Foundation who led all students from Years 7 to 13 in extended assemblies delivering their successful ‘Speak Out! Stop Hate’ learning module which promotes hate crime awareness and the vital importance of speaking out and reporting hate when witnessed.

The assemblies delivered a powerful message and proved very thought provoking for students. We’d like to thank the Foundation for sharing their time with our students.
