Abstract
Drawing on critical race theory, this chapter examines the absence of a critical focus on ‘race’ and racism in British government education policy from 2010 to 2024 and its impact on the ability of schools to reduce the Black-White achievement gap for Black Caribbean students. The chapter calls for policy change and better-equipped teachers to recognise the academic abilities of Black students and to challenge white supremacy in education policy and practice.
