Black History Month

As part of our Black History Month celebrations some of our Year 10 and 11 students had the opportunity to meet with and listen to some amazing external speakers. The aim of the event was to inspire and motivate our students to strive for excellence and to help them develop some strategies to become more resilient and overcome barriers that they may face growing up. The students were really engaged and took some key life lessons from the words of advice shared. Thank you to our very own Mr Henry and Miss James for their support and contributions and a special thank you to our external speakers Abigail Jaiyeola (Senior Journalist at BBC Look North), Jermaine Benjamin (Co-Founder & Director of Boost Talent Ltd),

Leroy McIntosh (Director of BNF Kaizen Football Academy) and Leanna Benjamin (Writer, Performer, Blogger, Human Rights Activist).
