Black History Month 2020

More so than any, this seemed the year to celebrate black achievements during Black History Month, as well as continuing our work to ensure that our curriculum resonates with the Fairfield Community. We have chosen as our theme ‘Black History is all our History’ to ensure that we are reminded all over the school that black history is not something that we study in October, it is part of all we study all the time.

Staff have all chosen someone from their area of the curriculum to celebrate, and have made a poster for their door. There is a quiz on Teams for students to do to help them learn about all the different people we are celebrating. A few examples of the 50+ posters are shown below!

Please see the following link to a collection of fascinating lectures related to black history which you may find of interest.
