Our Social Responsibility and Courageous Advocacy
At Sulhamstead & Ufton Nervet CE Primary School, we encourage our whole school community to be courageous advocates - making a difference; standing up for change for the better, whenever and wherever they can, no matter how small. We teach children to be agents of change by supporting and championing causes and speaking out against injustice, both locally and globally, with courage and confidence.
