This Black History Month, we are exploring the UK theme, Honouring Our Communities, reflecting on the people, past and present, who help shape the world around us.
 
Through assemblies and lessons, our pupils have been learning about the experiences of the Windrush Generation, who came to Britain to help rebuild the country after the Second World War, and the challenges they faced, including racism and discrimination.
 
We have also been discovering the remarkable contributions of Claudia Jones, who helped give Black Britons a voice and founded the event that grew into Notting Hill Carnival; Baroness Doreen Lawrence, whose tireless campaign for justice following the murder of her son brought attention to racism and failures within the police; and Lord Simon Woolley, a leading anti-racism campaigner who works to improve political representation and empower Black communities.
 
Alongside these important stories, pupils have been considering what makes a community feel like home: safety, belonging and shared strength. We have explored the importance of everyday heroes, from NHS workers and mentors to teachers, friends and the quiet helpers who make a difference through their care, courage and commitment.
 
As part of this learning, pupils are being encouraged to recognise and thank those who make a positive difference in their own lives, and to think about how each of us can help build a stronger, more inclusive community.
