Free resources for National Refugee Week

In partnership with the International Rescue Committee’s Healing Classrooms, we have created this programme of work to support refugee and asylum-seeking children and their classmates.

Using our book-led approach these lessons can be used to support and welcome new students to school. With a particular focus on fostering empathy, children will deepen their understanding of life for refugee families.

Key Stage One – Everybody’s Welcome by Patricia Hegarty
