@Netherhall_Eng My year 11 daughter currently is reading 'The Help'.

[Ruth Mann @RuthMannEnglish]

@Netherhall_Eng Would it be okay to have a copy of this list once you have finished it?
One of my favourite books is 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry' by Mildred D. Taylor- I'm sure you have thought of it already.

[English at Netherhall School & Oakes College @Netherhall_Eng]

@RuthMannEnglish Of course!! Ooh, not yet- thank you! It’s added!

[English at Netherhall School & Oakes College @Netherhall_Eng]

It is our responsibility to educate our students about racism, black trauma and white privilege explicitly through our curriculum & by empowering them to explore these issues themselves. This half term, we will recommend texts addressing race that students may wish to read (1/2)
