We’re thrilled to spotlight an impactful article by Zara Simpson, Deputy Head of Prep at Streatham & Clapham Prep School, featured in the latest issue of Education Choices magazine!

 

In her piece, “Reclaiming Narratives: Celebrating Black History at Streatham and Clapham High School,” Zara explores why Black history is woven throughout the SCHS curriculum – not just as a focus during a single month but as a year-round commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Her insights reflect the school’s dedication to creating a space where each pupil’s story is celebrated and valued, fostering an environment of empathy, cohesion and respect among young learners.

 

Zara’s message is powerful: inclusive education isn’t about occasional recognition; it’s about an ongoing journey toward understanding and unity. By embedding Black history within the curriculum, SCHS nurtures a sense of shared humanity, helping pupils appreciate the richness of all cultures and backgrounds.

 

This is a must-read for educators, parents and anyone passionate about the power of shared stories and inclusive education. Check out Zara’s article for a fresh perspective on how teaching Black history can shape compassionate, informed young minds!
