Voices of London: stories of migration with Wendy Baverstock

Wendy Baverstock, primary school teacher at Eldon Primary, curriculum resource creator, and amateur historian, has created a series of resources designed for year 6 pupils about 20th century London migration. The resources are a fantastic look into the lives of migrants to London during that time, and they include personal stories from relatives and ancestors of students and teachers in present-day Enfield. Listen to this episode of HEP Talks to hear stories about Granville James Brown, whose daughter Diana would become Deputy Headteacher at Eldon Primary School, as well as Joe, whose family moved from Ghana to live in Wood Green in London in 1985. Those stories and more feature in Wendy's year 6 curriculum, which Wendy has generously made available for download at the link here. Feel free to read and use the curriculum, and you can even give feedback about the resources on the poll attached to this podcast (Spotify only).
