Black History Month is celebrated in October in the UK and Astley Park School is proud to celebrate Black History Month with a focus on, 'Saluting our Sisters'.  This is intended to build awareness, educate and share lived experiences of Black women.  The theme of ‘Saluting our Sisters’ highlights the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.

Across the school learners have been looking at the contributions of Black women through different mediums, such as expressive arts and design - dance, music ,fashion and artwork, exploring food, stories, research and class discussions.
