CH Student Tai’bat Awarded Lord Mayor’s 800th Anniversary Award

We are very proud to share that Tai’bat (GR/Year 13) has been awarded the prestigious Lord Mayor’s 800th Anniversary Award in support of her inspiring documentary project, Where We Land.

This powerful series will uncover the untold stories of Black communities across the UK—spotlighting cities such as London, Birmingham and Liverpool. Each episode will explore the rich history, resilience and cultural contributions of these communities, from migration and activism to the shaping of modern Britain.

Tai’bat shares, ‘As a student at Christ’s Hospital, I found my identity and connection to my heritage in a way I hadn’t before. This school helped me understand who I am, and now, I want to give back by sharing these powerful stories with others. This project is personal—it’s about reclaiming the narratives that shaped me and so many others, and ensuring future generations can learn from and be inspired by them.’

Where We Land is more than a documentary—it’s a personal journey, and with the support of the Lord Mayor’s Award, Tai’bat is already bringing this important vision to life.
