Kenyah Sandy in Education
DIRECTOR STEVE McQueen says having an ‘unfortunate time growing up as a Black child in the British education system’ was the premise for the fifth and final film from Small Axe anthology.

Education is the coming of age story of 12-year-old Kingsley (Kenyah Sandy), a boy with a fascination for astronauts and rockets.
When Kingsley is called to the Headmaster’s office for disruptive behaviour in class, he is shocked to discover his transfer to a school for those with “special needs.”
