Ensuring Black Lives and Histories Are Seen, Taught and Valued in UK Education
We embed Black British history into schools, train educators and equip young people to challenge systemic oppression.
Who We Are
The Black Curriculum exists to confront the legacy of Eurocentrism and the exclusion of cultural contributions in education systems. We partner with schools and communities to transform how education is taught.
We ensure Black histories, cultures and intellectual contributions are taught accurately, critically, and consistently, not confined to isolated moments or commemorative months.
We design and deliver youth programmes, provide anti-racism programmes and curriculum audits that equip educators to move beyond surface-level inclusion. Alongside this, we produce high-quality learning resources that make learning accurate, engaging, and research-led. All our materials are accessible to teachers, parents, and young people.
Our work is grounded in lived experience, cultural relevance, and academic research. We are building communities that aim to tell fuller stories. We aim to create spaces where all students see themselves reflected with dignity and depth, and where all learners gain the historical literacy needed to understand the roots of racial inequality and their role in dismantling it.
Our Core Programmes
Youth Curriculum Programmes
We equip young people aged 8–25 with critical historical knowledge and confidence to challenge inequality.
Educator & School Training
Professional development for teachers, leaders, and staff embedding Black history into curriculum planning.
TBC Learning Resources Portal
Our TBC Learning Resources Portal offers high-quality, classroom-ready lesson plans and materials for KS2, KS3 and beyond.
Why It Matters
Across education systems worldwide, Black histories and contributions have been systematically marginalised or erased. This absence distorts young people’s understanding of the world, reinforces racial inequality, and sustains myths about who shapes history and whose knowledge holds value.
We exist because representation is not symbolic, it is foundational. When Black histories are embedded into the curriculum, young people develop a stronger sense of identity, belonging, and self-worth. When all learners are taught the full story, they gain the critical understanding needed to recognise injustice, question inequality, and participate in building more equitable societies.
