Black History Month
1 October - 31 October
Black History Month takes place every October in the UK.
The theme for Black History Month UK 2025 is “Standing Firm in Power and Pride,” a powerful tribute to the resilience, strength, and unwavering commitment to progress that defines the Black community across the globe. This year, the theme highlights the profound contributions made by Black people be they leaders, activists, or pioneers who have shaped history, while also looking towards a future of continued empowerment, unity, and growth.
LIVE ASSEMBLY
Our school was one of 4,300 that joined to watch Picture News’ live assembly on Friday 3 October.
Our School Council members will also be exploring an element of black history to share with classes later on in the month.
RECOMMENDED READING LIST
To celebrate Black History Month, we have created a recommended reading list for you and your children to enjoy together. The selection includes a variety of books that highlight and celebrate Black voices, stories and achievements.
