Black History Month October 2026
Celebrating Black History Month at Wyvil
This October, Wyvil Primary School is proud to celebrate Black History Month across all our sites. Throughout the month, pupils will take part in a wide range of exciting, curriculum-linked workshops and activities designed to honour the powerful contributions of Black people to British history and culture.
Children will experience:
Storytelling sessions: TBC
Drama workshops: TBC
Music and drumming with Mr Facey, exploring rhythm, musical traditions and cultural identity.
Art and sculpture: TBC
Anti-racism workshops: TBC
STEM focus sessions (for Years 5–6) celebrating the achievements of Black Britons in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
These experiences build on our curriculum by sparking curiosity, developing empathy, and celebrating culture through creativity, music, art and storytelling.
At Wyvil, we believe that Black History Month is not only a chance to reflect on the past, but also to inspire our pupils to become changemakers for the future.
