School Report

FreeMind What is BBC News School Report? BBC News School Report explained BBC News School Report gives 11-16 year-old students in the UK the chance to make their own news reports for a real audience. Using lesson plans and materials from this website, and with support from BBC staff and partners, teachers help students develop their journalistic skills to become School Reporters. In March, schools take part in an annual News Day, simultaneously creating video, audio and text-based news reports, and publishing them on a school website, to which the BBC aims to link. BBC News presenter and former teacher, Huw Edwards, is working on School Report. He said: "Over the years I've run many journalism workshops in schools. "I'm involved because I want to give young people the chance to make the news themselves, and I want to share the principles of good journalism. "So have a go, let me know what you think, and good luck!" How does it work in practice? There are five steps for teachers to take: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Practice News Days

For that reason, this year's Student Media Awards are likely to attract some of the most spiritedwriting since Andrew Rawnsley and Jonathan Freedland picked up gongs. "In the current climate of cuts to higher education and swathes of politically active students, now more than ever is a great time for student journalism," says Camilla Turner, a student at Oxford University and last year's reporter of the year. "It's really important for students to express their feelings about what's being enforced, do some great journalism and get across the sense of how students still feel." "Journalism is there to be redefined," Rusbridger told last year's winners.

The Courseware Company School places: find out how many people get the first choice secondary place across England. Map and data | News Just over one in six children in England were refused a place at their first preference secondary school this year, rising to one in three in London and its suburbs, official figures show. Statistics published by the Department for Education show 15.4% of the nearly 513,000 children who applied to start state secondary schools this September didn't get into the school their parents wanted. This is the equivalent of more than 79,000 11-year-olds. There were thought to be 17,500 fewer children applying, but only 1,200 fewer places available. The north-east of England had the highest percentage of first preference offers at 94.3 per cent, while Greater London had the lowest at 66.2 per cent. Families were told at the start of the month which school had accepted their children.
