This week we have been celebrating Black History as part of Black History Month. This year our theme is ‘Proud To Be’. We have focused on inspirational people from a Black and Brown background who have overcome any challenges to achieve their dreams and to inspire others.

We have had great discussions, activities and visitors to celebrate these heroes and thought about what makes us proud. 

Please visit the Black History page of the school website:

Where you will find photos from our week and a useful Parent’s Guide, offering resources, activities and tips for families to empower our children to work towards racial equality. A copy of the guide is available for reference in the PTA Hub by the Key Stage 1 entrance.
