We marked the start of Black History Month with a joyful celebration of Nigerian Independence Day.

On Monday night Mymwood House was decorated in the green and white of the Nigerian flag for evening of dancing, DJ-ing and drumming, and boarders from all four houses came along to help the party go with a swing.

On Tuesday the whole school was treated to a celebratory feast of blackened prawn skewers with Nigerian sauce, chicken stew, jollof rice, plantain and roasted vegetables.

Throughout October, we will be highlighting trailblazing and pioneering Black figures from history in Chapel services and assemblies, following the theme of #ReclaimingNarratives. The History department is running a poster competition – you can find out more about it here.
