Black History: Windrush Poster from Hope Education

This engaging A2 poster provides a clear and accessible introduction to the Windrush generation, supporting classroom discussions around migration, diversity, and modern British history. Ideal for Key Stage 2 and 3, it helps pupils understand the significance of Windrush Day and its impact on British society.

22nd June 2023 marked the 75th anniversary of the Windrush landing in the UK and has been named Windrush Day.

It has come to represent a significant turning point in British history and is a perfect example of how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world.

To recognise this important landmark, we have worked with Gaverne Bennett (teacher and creator of The Guardian Black History Timeline) to develop a range of Black History display materials, including this fact-filled, impactful poster.

The story of the ship and the ‘Windrush generation’ provides a wonderful opportunity to develop children’s knowledge of world geography and history, as well as their understanding of social and cultural change.
