bbc radio 1 comes to lordswood! 

Our Year 7 students had an incredible and inspiring experience during a special workshop led by Callum from BBC Radio 1. The session kicked off with an engaging Q&A, where students had the opportunity to ask questions and learn all about careers in news, broadcasting, and radio presenting. Callum shared fascinating insights into the world of journalism and what it’s like working behind the scenes and on air at one of the UK’s leading radio stations.

The highlight of the day was a hands-on activity where students got the chance to step into the shoes of a real news presenter. Working in small groups, they planned, wrote, and recorded their very own three-minute news bulletins. This practical experience allowed them to apply what they had learned and showcase their creativity, teamwork, and communication skills. It was a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence and explore future career possibilities in the media industry.

The excitement and enthusiasm in the room were clear, and many students came away feeling inspired and empowered by the experience.
