As principal of a school in Solihull with a diverse student population, I’m proud of the work we have done to ensure we teach our young people about the history and experiences of the black, Asian and ethnic minority communities that make up our local area. But decolonising the curriculum can’t be left to schools like ours. If we are going to create a new sense of post-colonial Britishness based on diversity and an analytical perspective of the past, then that work is just as relevant and important for students across the country, regardless of the make-up of their communities,.
