A mural to commemorate Wales' first black head teacher has been completed at the school where she held the role for several decades. Work on the striking painting has been ongoing since mid-February and has now been finished.
Mrs Campbell was the head teacher at Mount Stuart Primary School in Butetown, Cardiff, from 1965 to 1999. She will now be permanently commemorated at the school thanks to artwork from Bradley Rmer, who painted the My City, My Shirt mural nearby.
Helen Borley, the school's current head teacher, said: "We are immensely proud of our school’s connection to Mrs Campbell as Mount Stuart’s first head teacher and Wales’s first black head teacher. She is a continued inspiration to us and our community. Mrs Campbell’s legacy is a powerful message of what you can achieve given determination and drive.”
