Black History Month

麻豆直播 has celebrated Black History Month with three assemblies dedicated to this event. Black History Month was first launched in London in the 1980s, when the aim was for the local community to challenge racism and educate themselves and others about the British history that was not taught in schools. The month began with an assembly exploring the events of George Floyd’s murder and the historical context of racism in Britain and America. Performing Arts prefects highlighted the work of black performers such as Hattie McDaniel and Ray Charles. In Humanities lessons students have considered moments in Black History which link to their current topics and Key Stage 3 students have been exploring British people that they find most inspiring. Some chose students researched British nurse, Mary Seacole, and her work during the Crimean War. Other students chose current inspirational people such as Marcus Rashford, whose work on expanding access to free school meals was acknowledged when he was awarded an MBE.

Please watch the final assembly below which includes work from our students about Black History Month.

Pupil journalist Sam B secures national 'Student Voices' award

Our  talented pupil, Sam B, Year 9, has been named one of just five winners nationwide in the prestigious ' The Day's Student Voices Young Journalist Awards 2026. Sam B clinched the honour with a compelling, insightful opinion piece titled, “Life Isn't All Sunshine And Rainbows But It's Not Doom And Gloom Either.” The competition judges praised the passion, positivity and exceptional eloquence of Sam’s writing. As part of the winner's package, the article was officially published on The Day’s global Student Voices platform on 15th June, alongside the national announcement of the competition winners. Sam’s award-winning article takes critical aim at the modern media landscape, arguing that mainstream platforms rely on sensationalism and fear to drive reader engagement. The piece contrasts historical anxieties with today's relentless news cycle, which feeds on global catastrophes. While acknowledging real hardships, Sam warns that constant access to bleak updates is mentally exhausting and traps younger generations in a false sense of hopelessness.  Far from advocating for purposeful ignorance, Sam urges readers to stay informed while remembering how far humanity has progressed. The essay highlights that we are living in a golden age of technology and medical achievement.  Ultimately, the award-winning piece serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's inherent resilience and proven ability to thrive in the face of adversity. As Sam beautifully concludes, "It's important to keep positive, because whatever happens, humans always adapt and never lose hope." The entire St Clement Danes community extends its warmest congratulations to Sam on this incredible achievement
