Roedean School, near Brighton in East Sussex, it set to move history classes away from Britain s island story and instead teach students about world events in a wider context.
Pupils aged 11 to 14 will learn about black Tudors and Queen Victoria s goddaughter Sara Forbes Bonetta, a west African princess who was enslaved before being rescued and brought to England, the Times reported.
