Our Black History course addresses the gaps in the UK school curriculum, which often overlooks key aspects of Black history. We’ve developed a comprehensive program that highlights Black British history, including the Black Tudors, the Windrush generation, the Notting Hill Carnival, and the UK Civil Rights movement. Students will explore pivotal events such as the New Cross Fire, the Bristol Bus Boycott, the Brixton Riots, and Black Pound Day, providing a deeper understanding of Black British heritage.

The course also covers ancient African civilizations like Ancient Ghana, Mali, and the Songhai Empire, alongside the significant contributions of Black individuals in science, technology, art, music, sociology, and politics. We’ll examine the lasting impacts of colonialism and neo-colonialism on the African diaspora, as well as explore African religions, including traditional beliefs, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and movements like Rastafari and Black Liberation Theology.

Additionally, we offer free and affordable black history educational resources in our store which support our mission to make Black history education more accessible and engaging. You can find them here. 

Nearly half of Americans don't expect to have enough money to retire comfortably and it should come as no surprise that the situation in the United Kingdom is just as bad with the lack of financial education being taught in schools; its practically non-existent on the curriculum and syllabus.

Financial literacy is important because it equips us with the knowledge and skills we need to manage money effectively. Without it, our financial decisions and the actions we take—or don't take—can have disastrous consequences. When young people get a quality financial education in how to manage their finances they stand a far greater chance of leading an abundant life of security from the start.

In our course students will look examine modules on saving, budgeting, making the most of your money, consumer rights, money management, value for money, borrowing, debt, understanding the world of work, risk & reward, security & fraud and much more

In today’s world, more people than ever are choosing to work from home, become self-employed, or start their own businesses. With the current global climate and the rise of e-commerce, technology, and globalization, the barriers to entry for entrepreneurship have never been lower. This trend is only expected to grow, especially with economic uncertainty looming. As a result, understanding the principles of business and entrepreneurship has become more essential than ever.

Traditional business courses are often outdated, especially within the secondary school curriculum, where the syllabus fails to keep up with the rapid changes in the business world. Our course focuses on the real-world skills needed for today’s entrepreneurs, with a particular emphasis on e-commerce, mobile marketing, and 21st-century business models. Students will learn everything from the basics of starting and running a business to more advanced strategies for success in the digital age.

To make the learning experience even more engaging, the course will include interviews with local business owners who will share their journeys, including the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. These business owners will offer valuable insights into what it takes to succeed, answer student questions, and potentially offer mentorship or work experience opportunities. The interview sessions are free and open to everyone, and we encourage local entrepreneurs to get involved. If you’re interested in participating or learning more, please get in touch.
