Last year, The English Dept. and The Art & Design Dept. ran a project focused on the many issues of racism.  The project had pupils from different year groups producing written work and art works exploring racism, civil rights, equality and even the Academy’s own history where it linked to Caribbean plantations & the slave trade.  An exhibition of this work was staged within the school.

The project was linked with a creative showcase organised by Show Racism the Red Card and the EIS.  Several examples of pupil work were submitted to their on-line showcase.
