A private girls boarding school has rewritten its history syllabus in order to challenge the white western narrative following the Black Lives Matter movement.
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.
They will study the Second World War from a global perspective, considering the impact of the event - which involved the vast majority of the world s countries - elsewhere.
