Windrush Celebration in Collaboration with Tilbury Library

The Gateway Learning Community marked Windrush Day with a special celebration in collaboration with Tilbury Library, St Mary’s School, and Woodside Primary Academy. As part of the event, pupils across the GLC contributed beautiful artwork inspired by the Windrush generation, which is now proudly on display at the library. Children also enjoyed a Windrush-themed storytime and had the unique opportunity to explore historical artifacts on loan from Grays Museum and the Riverside Project—including a traditional nutcracker and toys once played with by children of the era. It was a meaningful and engaging way to honour an important part of our shared history.
