To Adopt elements of the ‘Black Curriculum’ through purchasing a diverse resource bank of literary material, including literature books and academic texts to promote valuing diversity and inclusion. |
Purchase diverse material for pupil use in each classroom.

Two literature texts have been purchased to teach Windrush as part of the KS3 curriculum. We have also purchased two non-fiction texts, one of which, ‘Black Heroes’, is used across key stage 3 and 4. Teaching of these texts have been built into the 2022-23 curriculum plans. |

To extend extracurricular activities to incorporate visits to culturally diverse landmarks that promote and reflect the curriculum teaching. |
Enrichment sessions to include trips that reflect Black Curriculum learning. |
Unfortunately, due to COVID, progress towards this target has been limited. Some diverse landmarks have been explored via the internet e.g ‘Nanny of the Maroons, Boudica. We are continuing to build on this throughout 2023. |
