I have created a lesson which is part based on an analysis of the Windrush passenger database and part on exploring the stories of the individuals impacted by the scandal. This lesson has been set as a home learning activity for my Year 8 classes. The first activity is a series of questions based on investigating the database of the passengers and then looking closely at the landing cards of the individuals headed for Wolverhampton (you may want to adapt this to make it more suitable for your local area). The next section is looking at what the scandal was and the impact it has had. Final task includes a range of differentiated activities. I have included links to the database and the article used both in the PowerPoint.

SoW: What are the causes and consequences of migration? L5: What was life like for the first Caribbean migrants? L1: Why are some areas of the world more densely populated than others? - Free - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12695361 This unit is created in line with my personal passion for Population & Migration. This unit is framed around the cause and consequences of the global population growth, and the process and systems behind this geographical issue. A conscience effect has also been made to embed dual coding within this SoW, as well as much differentiation and scaffolding. This Unit is my favorite to deliver and has been streamlined over the last two years.

A lesson which introduces the Windrush generation. Contains guidance for a research project including sources such as videos, books, podcasts and museums. Taught as part of a geography SOW on the UK which coincides with Black History Month.

Why did people from the Caribbean travel to live and work in Britain? When the Second World War ended, countries needed to recover and rebuild. By 1948, the Nationality Act was passed which gave people from British colonies the right to live and work in Britain if they wanted. They were citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies. Many Caribbean men and women had served in the forces during the war, some wanted to re-enlist into the armed forces or find other employment. After the war, Britain needed people to fill jobs in the health service, transport system and postal system. The arrival of the ship ‘Empire Windrush’ is often seen as the start of this migration of Caribbean migrants from countries including Jamaica; Bermuda; Trinidad and British Guiana seeking jobs and a better life in this country. Jamaica for example, had high unemployment and a recent hurricane had caused huge damage. However, it is also important to remember that there were earlier lesser-known ships that carried post-war migrants from the Caribbean. Find out these other ships in this National Archives blog. It cost £28 for travel on the troop-deck and £48 for cabin class travel on the Empire Windrush. The ship picked up passengers at Trinidad, Jamaica (Kingston), Mexico (Tampico), Cuba (Havana) and, finally Bermuda before arriving at Tilbury Docks on 22nd June in Britain. The total number of passengers was 492, of which 52 were volunteers for the armed forces, 236 who had nowhere to go and who were accommodated in London’s Clapham South tube station deep shelter and 204 who had places to go to and were dispersed direct from Tilbury. The Ministry of Labour set up a small labour exchange or job centre in the Clapham South shelter to help to place people in jobs. Fares were paid to those travelling to other parts of the country. Life was difficult for many people after the war. Rationing and shortages continued, people still queued for food. People therefore arriving from the Caribbean would have experienced this as well as leaving friends and family behind. The climate was also colder and wetter. Unfortunately, some Caribbean migrants were made to feel unwelcome and treated unfairly and differently because of racism. Finding jobs and somewhere to live was difficult due to discrimination. Many were forced to accept employment with low wages or poor housing.
