Dear Parents / Carers,

We are pleased to announce that **Thames View Junior** will be taking part in **Wear Red Day** on **Friday 17 October**, in support of the **Show Racism the Red Card** campaign. [Inclusive Employers+2USDAW+2](https://www.inclusiveemployers.co.uk/awareness-day/wear-red-day/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

This is a national day of action with the aim of raising awareness, showing solidarity against racism and promoting the message that **racism has no place in our school or community**. [Inclusive Employers+2Show Racism the Red Card+2](https://www.inclusiveemployers.co.uk/awareness-day/wear-red-day/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Here’s how your child can take part:

- On **Friday 17 October**, we are inviting all pupils and staff to wear something **red** (this could be a red top, accessory, or full outfit) instead of the normal school uniform.
- We would welcome a voluntary contribution of **£1 (or more if you wish)** to support the work of **Show Racism the Red Card**. Funds raised will help provide anti-racism education workshops and resources for young people.

- Donations can be made via the **Payments tab in the MCAS (MyChildAtSchool) app**, or you may send **cash into school**. We will have staff at the gates to collect donations on the morning.
- During the day, pupils will take part in age-appropriate activities in class to explore what racism is, how it affects people, and how we can all act to challenge it.
- We may also hold a photo opportunity or school-wide “show your red” moment to celebrate everyone’s participation.

Your support is vital — by joining in, children help send a strong message that our school community values **inclusion, respect and equality**.

Thank you for your support.

Together, we can make a difference.

Ms Uppal
