Black History Month, October 2025

The St Mary’s community always highlights Black History Month each October with tailored Acts of Worship, lesson content and extra curricular activities to raise awareness.

In Food Technology, students learnt about the Jamaican food – some feedback from students included: “ohhh these plantain chips are amazing” and ” ‘Ting’ what a funny name for a drink”

Two sixth form students, Maya and Dayo, prepared and presented acts of worship over a whole week to each year group dedicated to Black History, and indeed discussed this with the Mayor of Broxbourne, Cllr Patsy Spears, during her visit to the school.
