How will schools tackle the subject of the riots?

four directors of their schools and plan to respond to the riots that took place earlier this month

Kate Frood, Director, Eleanor Palmer Primary, Camden, London

We have three topics that shape and our work as a school and we will build on these in September in our response. First, the idea that rights come responsibilities, and that begins with very young children. Second, having a partner school in Sierra Leone means that our children have a sense of real poverty and deprivation, and we'll use it to reflect on the difference between wants and needs.

Third, we will discuss: "If you want to change something, what does" Of course, children need to learn self-discipline, respect of law and respect for others, but must also be supported to build the confidence to influence and change their lives constructively. They must be convinced, too, which will be heard.

school is able to respond. We are a global city well - both socially and ethnically - and, therefore, our community cohesion is excellent. Since it is the heart of our work: Children need a sense of belonging and pride in their community. I fear that many of the educational policies of this government is creating more and no less, the division of social classes.

Kevin Wilson, Director, All Saints and Technology College, Barking and Dagenham

the first day of term, we will have a meeting where I put a marker for the rest of the year. This time, I have evidence to show why this type of behavior is what we are determined to keep them out of school.

Ours is a very successful school, but there is a strong gang culture in Barking and Dagenham, and I know some of my children were involved in the incident. I will reiterate that this is absolutely unacceptable. There are a number of parents - 3% -4% - are in total denial of what his son would do, and do not understand the reality of their children grow up in a country and a culture different from yours. If I hear one of my students were involved? I would say to the police.

Gill Kelly, Director, City Academy, Bristol

Bristol riots were part of the overall national situation, and we will respond by addressing the key messages came from the riot. It has been much speculation about the cause of these disorders. Young people and their supposed lack of values, no doubt, were the subject of blame.

City Academy students had nothing to do with the riots, which were kept away, so we will continue to exhibit high moral standards and expectations here.
We will use the riot as a matter of debate in our class citizenship and the "family learning" where we can address the problems facing the problems. Our community team will also actively work with community partners and the feedback problems that may arise as a result of events.
