Black History Month

07 Oct Black History Month

People from African and Caribbean backgrounds have been a fundamental part of British history for centuries. However, their value and contribution to society is often overlooked, ignored or distorted.

As a school we have made changes to our KS3 History curriculum but there is still more we can do. Black History Month gives everyone the opportunity to share, celebrate and understand the impact of black heritage and culture.

This week we held assemblies to launch Black History Month. Over the course of the month, we will be holding a number of events, lectures and opportunities for students to explore the contributions of both historical and current figures and role models from diverse backgrounds.

We look forward to showcasing this work at the end of the month. I would like to congratulate and thank Teeyah, Leeyah, Nifemi and Monjola and Becky for their contributions and speeches during our assembly.
