On Thursday 11th March, 60 of our Year 8 students will be joining up with Gateshead City Learning Centre to make the news. Pupils are taking part in BBC News School Report, a BBC project to engage 11-14-year-olds in the news.
Over the past few months the students in Year 8 have been working hard, training to be top journalists and on Thursday, they will be broadcasting their news, covering the stories of the day and interviewing special guests. They will broadcast a special report on education in the future live at 1pm. You can log on to Gateshead CLC BBC School Report for information about the live web broadcast and view their work as it is published.
The BBC will be tracking their progress in order to prepare a report for the national news bulletin at 6pm so make sure you’re watching!
