On Friday 9th May, Pencoed Comprehensive School was honoured to welcome Emma Wools, Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales. The visit was part of her ongoing work to understand how schools across the region are taking steps to become actively anti-racist.
Emma was greeted by our PARCH team – the Pencoed Anti-Racist Champions – made up of learners and staff who are driving change within the school and wider community. Learners proudly led a tour of the school and presented the wide range of anti-racism projects they have been working on, from primary, cluster visits, to whole school activities. She was extremely impressed by the thoughtful and passionate work on display, praising the learners for their important “heart work” and commended the school’s proactive and inclusive approach to embedding anti-racism in its culture.
We are incredibly proud of our PARCH learners and the meaningful impact they continue to make in promoting equality and challenging discrimination across our school and beyond.
