On the 4 November 2026, Form 1 pupils from The Roman Ridge School recently embarked on an enriching educational excursion to the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park in Accra. Designed to consolidate their classroom studies, the trip provided an engaging opportunity to step beyond textbooks and experience Ghana’s history first-hand.
During the visit, pupils explored the historic grounds and gained a deeper connection to what they have been learning in class regarding the early life of Dr Kwame Nkrumah. Seeing the artefacts and monuments up close helped bring his story to life, fostering a richer appreciation of his childhood and the formative values that shaped him into one of Africa’s finest leaders.
Beyond academic enrichment, the excursion strongly reflected The Roman Ridge School’s ethos. By encouraging pupils to engage directly with their national heritage, the visit instilled a lasting sense of cultural pride and connection to history, while highlighting the core values upheld by the school community.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Mr Daniel Dodoo, alongside Form Tutors Mr Jones Osei and Mrs Penuel Dussey, for organising and facilitating such a memorable, hands-on learning experience for our Form 1 cohort.
