Shoscombe Church School follows a wide and varied curriculum, giving pupils the opportunity to learn about a vast array of topics, both historical and cultural.

October is officially Black History Month, a month-long event to commemorate and celebrate the contribution that Black people have made to society across the globe.

Headteacher, Ruth Noall, said: “Our Key Stage Two children have been learning about Black History. This has involved looking at The Slave Trade, Windrush, The American and Civil Rights Movement and Migrants to Huddersfield in history.

“During Art lessons we have also been studying African Masks, their influence on Picasso and the Cubist Movement.

“Understanding the invaluable contribution that people from a wide range of backgrounds, be they racial, religious or cultural, make to our communities is really important.”

“Bali Rai, English author of children’s and young adult fiction, points out that reading for pleasure is the single biggest factor in success later in life, outside of an education.

“If your child reads, they will succeed - it’s that simple!”
