In October, pupils marked Black History Month with impactful celebrations. Highlights included a memorable chapel talk from Mojo A, who shared the inspiring story of her Nigerian grandfather’s journey to success, driven by his belief in the power of education.

In class, pupils selected a role model of the month. IB English pupils explored Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches, analysing his powerful use of rhetorical techniques—emotive language, hyperbole, and anaphora—to relay his message and promote his dream of a time when “children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character”.

In PE, Mr. Sharrock’s class highlighted inspiring black athletes, learning how each person had overcome discrimination to excel. These activities offered meaningful insights and celebrated resilience, empowerment, and equality.
