  • Year 9 historians had a fantastic opportunity to attend @officialuom Black History Month event, “History Reimagined for a Changing World,” featuring Professor David Olusoga. Pupils heard from leading historians about the importance of rethinking and broadening our understanding of the past, before exploring the University of Manchester Museum and discovering more about African history through its collections and displays. It was an inspiring day that gave students the chance to experience history beyond the classroom and engage with new perspectives on the past.
