11th March 2010 was BBC School Report day, where the BBC open up their news feeds to school pupils all across the country. We took 7 students to Gateshead CLC where they worked with professional standard TV and Radio recording equipment to produce some fantastic news reports. It was a fantastic success, we even made the 6 o'clock news!
Our students produced a video looking at education in the present, this fit into their LIVE web broadcast where they interviewed Noel Jackson from the Life centre in Newcastle.
Some of our students were involved in a news report created by the BBC and shown on the 6 o'clock and 10 o'clock national news! We also had a couple of students interview Maggie Atkinson live on the radio.
