FOBBS at play
Ecclesbourne primary school – Refugee week
The headteacher wanted to include Black Britons within a Refugee week display and had reached out to see if any figures in the app were refugees. After looking, we couldn’t find any in our current catalogue. So our team and historical experts got to work. We came up with seven names of new figures. Within 24 hours, we had gathered images and written a short except of each person and added them into the web app.
This enabled the school to:
- Make a truly unique display
- Saved the headteacher a couple hours of research and verification.
- Create a more inclusive school environment
- Increased content for other FOBBS partner schools
