Black History Month 2025

This week we will be starting our school celebration of Black History Month and the theme this year is ‘Standing firm in power and pride”.

As a part of our Black History month celebrations, we will -

• Have Local black British Historian Norma Gregory host an assembly for all key stages
• Have a Black History suggested timetable with different foci each week that highlights the profound contributions made by Black people be they leaders, activists, or pioneers who have shaped local and national history.
• Send out a Black history bingo sheet for families to complete at home- prizes provided by our Diversity Lead Miss Ross!
• Have Diversify visit Nursery to teach them about Mary Seacole.
• Have a SEND/Neurodiverse 3 week plan which has a sensory, music & movement focus.
• Have enjoyed the talents of our fantastic Mrs Speed sharing some oral storytelling with our children.

We hope you and your children enjoy engaging with the above activities. We hope they make a difference to our children to see themselves represented in their learning during the special time as well as through our usual curriculum, resources and environment.
