H.E.M.B.L Heritage & Culture Classes

The Heritage & Culture classes are aimed at Secondary school pupils and their parents.

We encourage young people and their parents to learn together.

Four (4) of the classes will concentrate on Great Black Personalities over the last 4 centuries.

Four (4) of the classes will concentrate on Modern Black British History.

The aim is to teach history and the intellectual skills that go with it; comprehension, source analysis, understanding significance, understanding the differences between causes and consequences, and empathy etc.

The Student will be required to engage with the material and produce written accounts of all kinds including diary entry, journalistic reports, essay, debate, etc.
