Grangehurst Primary School

The city has a lot of gang culture, and this has led to some criminal influence in the area. There is a historic culture of retaliation that can prevent the children from moving on and overcoming conflict especially when dealing with misunderstandings.  We believe as a school that all children have the right to be happy and to go home happy. Having a developed understanding of sources of conflict and recognising the impact that conflict can have on relationships at a personal, local, national and international scale, we believe, will make a difference to their own choices. We want our pupils to be able to independently manage conflict, whenever it may arise, in a constructive, timely manner. Through this curriculum we believe we can provide our pupils with strategies to deal with conflict issues in a positive way.
