There's a competition across the trust for all children who are interested - all schools and all ages.

The theme is 'Saluting our Sisters' and we would like pupils to research LOCAL black female figures/ activists in our community and design a mural/plaque/statue to commemorate their contributions. This will give the opportunity to uncover some 'hidden heroines'.

Alternatively you can:

Take a photo or share a photo of a woman of colour who inspires them. They can be famous, a family member, somebody in school, somebody in the community. They just have to be inspirational to them!

Submit 100 words explaining why they inspire you.

To enter, pupils should email entries to newislington@coopacademies.co.uk, with the name of their heroine, as well as their own name.

The deadline is Friday 27th October.
