George Floyd Remembered: One Year On

We took time out of our school day to remember and reflect on the death of George Floyd, the unarmed African American man who died after being stopped by police and then held down by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, USA.  

George Floyd's death led to debates about racism and Black Lives Matter marches and protests across the world, calling for changes to policing, education and culture. Mrs Codling, our Head, invited the whole school to join her on TEAMS, giving a short speech on the importance of tolerance and asking everyone to make pledges of acceptance.
