| Abstract |
Soho Parish School stands incongruously between clip joints and lap-dancing clubs in the heart of Soho. The 145 children on role come from a wide range of countries, many from Chinese or Bangladeshi families. Citizenship and diversity pervade the whole-school ethos, and members of staff embed emotional literacy and the citizenship and diversity agenda in the context of everyday school life. They take us on an energetic tour of a typical day, from a Mandarin lesson, Year 4 PSHE circle time, to a school council meeting. Good citizenship, respectfulness and empathy are apparent everywhere. School lunches are managed in-house. The mouth-watering menus are chosen democratically though the school council and reflect the diversity of the children's backgrounds; parents and carers are also invited in for lunch. We get a glimpse of the world beyond the school gates when we follow two reception teachers on a school visit to Chinatown. |
