Congratulations to our new Schools of Sanctuary in achieving this prestigious award, and thanks to the Intercultural Service of the Education Authority for the sterling work they have done in preparing these Schools for the Award. This award has only been made possible by generous support from the Urban Villages Initiative of The Executive Office.
