What a month it’s been! Celebrating and reflecting on black history and culture throughout the past 3 weeks including a focus on what pride and empowerment mean within our community, for everyone. Some of our events were:
- Form time activities
- Assemblies
- Cultural food
- Library Display
- Cross-curricular “Voices of Pride and Power” focus
- A visit to the Houses of Parliament for a special screening of Romeo n Juliet 4EVA, (recently awarded Best Diaspora Film in Africa)
- Student designed vibrant flags representing a wide range of countries and cultures
- BHM Reading Relay
Last week ended with an incredible celebration event of fantastic performances (our student steel pans!), DJ, food, and community celebration.
Wonderful feedback received:
I just wanted to thank you and all the staff involved for putting on such a wonderful event yesterday evening. The boys are still buzzing about it now!As someone who teaches African history year round and has spent nearly 20 years in education, I’ve seen Black History Month be really poorly acknowledged.This was honestly the most well planned and impactful celebration of this month that I’ve seen in any school.I think the boys will remember it in years to come.
A massive thank you to all the staff who made a positive impact in delivering the BHM focus in such creative and interactive ways and a special thank you to Mr Obeng who led on the whole programme, with Ms Green and Ms Roberts who coordinated the finale event!
We hope the students enjoyed it as much as we did and have increased knowledge and understanding around diversity and culture.
Together, we remain committed to celebrating diversity, honouring heritage, and inspiring every student to stand firm with pride and purpose.
