Rather than confining Black history to October, we embed the contributions, experiences, and narratives of diverse individuals throughout our entire curriculum. This integrated approach ensures that Black history is recognised not as separate from "mainstream" history, but as an essential thread woven throughout the fabric of all learning. During October, we deepen this ongoing work through additional lessons and assemblies, but our students know that honouring Black and diverse history and culture is a daily practice, not a seasonal one.

Some areas of Diversity in our curriculum include learning about the following people and their impact on how we live today:

Lewis Howard Latimer, Mary Seacole, Baroness Floella Benjamin, Mary Prince, The Ivory Bangle Lady, The Cheddar Man, The Aurelian Moors, John Blanke, David Olusuga.
