Black History Month is an annual celebration of the achievements of Black communities and the remembrance of Black history across the world. It was first celebrated in the UK in 1987 and takes place throughout October. It is an opportunity to raise awareness of Black history, traditions and contributions through celebration, events and education.

This Year’s National Theme is : Time for change,action not words

 

Our Diversity Parent Forum will be discussing this when they meet during October and Mrs Moseley will be sharing the curriculum review we have been working on for several months.

 

Our Diversity Parent Forum is open to all parents.The next meeting is Monday 10th October at 2.30pm in the hall.
