A SCHOOL that was praised in an Ofsted report has moved to tackle the one area inspectors said it needed to improve on, by staging a multi-cultural week.
Greenland Junior School in South Moor, Stanley, invited the Caribbean steel band Juma Steel to the school. Deputy headteacher Lynn George said: "Pupils and staff have worked hard to identify ways of promoting multi-cultural awareness through all areas of the curriculum, including in RE and citizenship.
"The aim is to directly challenge stereotypes, prejudice and racism."
During the multi-cultural week, pupils learnt about cultures in Indonesia, France, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Africa, China and the US.
