Show Racism the Red Card 2023

Show Racism the Red Card School Competition, Anfield – 4May23

In February the whole school took part in a competition organised by the registered charity “Show Racism the Red Card.” It was a powerful and fun way to engage the staff, governors, parents and children’s interest in anti-racism.

The charity’s aims are to enable young children to understand the causes and consequences of racism using professional footballers as anti-racist role models. At school we focused on celebrating cultural diversity and developing our school’s ethos “We Are All Different, We Are All Special, We Can All Achieve.”

A poster made by six children in Penguin class was chosen as the overall winner for the school and was entered into the national competition. Over 900 schools took part in this year’s competition and the poster was awarded first prize in the Year 1-4 art and creative writing category.

The 6 children attended an Awards Ceremony that was held at Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club on Thursday 4th May. The ceremony featured current and former professional footballers and the children received some great prizes. We are very proud to win this competition again and very excited about the award ceremony.
