Younger pupils at South Craven School, in Cross Hills, were given first-hand experience of Sikhism.
Roop Singh, who is based in Leeds, spoke to year seven pupils.
Head of religious education Gill Baker said: “Arriving in full Sikh costume, Roop made a colourful entry, before giving a very entertaining and informative presentation about his religion through his own life story. He explained the significance of his costume, with particular reference to the special place the turban has in his faith.
“He also talked about the significance of some parts of Sikh religious services and about beliefs and customs associated with key times in a person’s life. Perhaps most important of all, through his humour and integrity, he highlighted the problems associated with bullying and racism.
“He wanted the students to see that despite different costumes and customs, everyone is human and deserves respect.”
