Show Racism the Red Card Competition

Four pupils from Loughborough High School have won the Show Racism the Red Card Competition in the clothing design category.

John Barnes presented the award to the girls

The competition had around 25,000 entries from across the UK.

Year 8 pupils, Ella, Zini, Deeya and Anika were invited to the awards ceremony at Anfield football stadium.

Former footballer and anti-racism campaigner, John Barnes, presented the award.

The t-shirt design created by the pupils

Their design was created to show how despite differences, everyone is equal.

The girls said: ‘We hope that when seeing this t-shirt, people will understand the message and be encouraged to stand up to racism and help make a difference.’

PSHCE teacher, Victoria Standring, commented: ‘We were covering the topic of racism in my class and learning about how to be upstanders, rather than bystanders, and this competition caught my eye.’
