“As long as there have been Black people, there have been Black LGBTQ and same-gender-loving people,”
“Racism combined with the forces of stigma, phobia, discrimination and bias associated with gender and sexuality have too often erased the contributions of members of our community."

The Petchey Academy ‐ 13th May
It was another fantastic evening held at Mossbourne Community Academy with 14 thought-provoking, confident and passionate young speakers from schools across our borough. The speakers from The Petchey Academy: Anjola Osinlaru and Megi Meta did the Academy proud with their amazing speeches. Anjola delivered an inspiring speech on Microaggressions and Megi spoke about Sexual Abuse. They took the stage with such confidence and conviction and were true advocates for change in our society. What fantastic role models! Unfortunately, they did not make the top three with such stiff competition, however they were certainly top for us! #speakout #speakoutchallenge #competition #proudschool #achievements #hackneyschools

🎭SHAKESPEARE IN ACTION🎭
The students in years 7 and 9 have been taking #Shakespeare from page to stage, considering an actor's perspective in workshops. By taking ownership of the language and drawing out the #emotions of the characters, the scenes take on new life and new meaning. Excellent #effort, brilliant #performances and fantastic jigs! #shedothteachthetorchestoburnbright #butadream
