This year’s Black History Month theme, 'Reclaiming the Narrative,' encouraged pupils to explore the importance of Black history, culture, and the complexity of individual stories. In an inspiring assembly, Mr. Hadi emphasised the need for students to take ownership of their narratives and ensure their stories are authentically their own. Staff members highlighted Black inspirational figures across classrooms and the dining hall, while Mr. Ososanya curated a playlist of iconic Black musical artists, played over the tannoy each morning. The canteen also celebrated by offering authentic Afro-Caribbean cuisine throughout the month. To cap off the celebration, pupils can now enjoy recreating these dishes at home with Harris Academy Falconwood’s first-ever Black History Month cookbook!
