On Friday 23rd October, the Catering team at St Edmund’s Catholic Academy ended the term with a Caribbean/African lunch theme held for pupils and students, in aid of celebrating Black History Month.

On the menu was jerk chicken, rice and peas, dumplings, banana curry and of course the traditional Jamaican ginger cake.

Dressed in colourful tops representing the different flags of Black History month, Head Cook Pam Dhaliwal commented: “Here at St Edmund’s and within Wolverhampton we love to celebrate diversity and culture. What better way of celebrating Black History Month by giving them a taste of the Caribbean.

It’s been a fun day, I think the pupils have really enjoyed it and it’s something we will continue to do each year.”
