Black History Month

This October, the Academy has come together to honour and celebrate Black History Month through creativity, learning, and reflection. These included:

🥁 African Dance & Drum Workshop – Year 7 students experienced the vibrant rhythms of the Zamble dance in an interactive workshop that connected music, singing, geography, and dance.

🌍 Whole-School Assembly – We explored the theme of the year: Standing Firm in Power and Pride, inspiring students to embrace resilience and unity.

📚 Tutor Time PDL – Students learned about the historic Bristol Bus Boycott, a powerful example of standing up for equality and justice.

💡 Curriculum Links – Across subjects, lessons highlighted influential figures and changemakers who have shaped history and continue to inspire future generations.

This month gives us the chance to learn, share, and celebrate together. From music and dance to stories of resilience and change, these experiences remind us of the importance of understanding and appreciating the rich history that shapes our world.
