Moorside Primary School and Nursery has become a nationally recognised School of Sanctuary after demonstrating an understanding of refugees.
The Schools of Sanctuary programme is a network of over 300 primary and secondary schools committed to supporting refugees in the UK.
Schools join the network if they can prove over a period of time that children learn what it is like to be a refugee and this is embedded in the curriculum in subjects such as geography, history and religious education.
They are then reassessed on a three-year rolling basis.
Other schools in the Harrogate district to have achieved School of Sanctuary status include Grove Road Community Primary School, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Springwater School, and Outwood Primary Academy Greystone.
Moorside's award certificate was presented during last week's national Refugee Week.
