Black History Month

Saturday 1 October marked the start of Black History Month 2022. 

In assemblies and tutor periods this week pupils have reflected on the positive contribution that the Black community has had, and continues to have, on the development of Britain.

The theme for Black History Month 2022 is Time for Change: Action Not Words.  This theme acknowledges that the Black community is often given the double burden of experiencing racism and discrimination, and then being expected to fix it. Hopefully, by making the theme of this year’s Black History Month ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’ we can come together to make a change for the better.

There are a wide range of local and national events taking place to mark Black History Month.  Further information can be found at: https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk/
