Lisa Zychowicz, Volunteer (Schools of Sanctuary Lead)
I support schools in Calderdale that want to show they welcome refugees and families seeking asylum, and are inclusive in their commitment to all pupils. I am also the Local Lead for the national Schools of Sanctuary movement. My background is as a teacher and then headteacher in London and Rochdale, as well as a School Improvement Partner and Creative Arts Associate in London.
