Equality Club led assemblies on the importance of celebrating Black History Month and recognising some significant black Britons and the impact of their activism.

We also had a Black History Month party during Fun Friday organised by Charis, with a range of activities including a competition to make a creative response to this year's theme of 'Standing Firm in Power and Pride.'  Students have also been taught about a significant Black Briton in tutor time each day ranging from Roy Hackett to Malorie Blackman.

The history department is running two further competitions: an essay competition on any event or person in black history linked to Britain or in other parts of the world, and a Black History Month passport encouraging pupils to visit locations in London linked to black history. Watvh this space for the results!
