BBC School Report News Day 2016


The BBC School Report celebrated its 10th anniversary and Glenthorne High School was again fully involved in the proceedings.


All Year 8 students got a flavour of the day through their English lessons, working on condensing news stories to create headlines and then recording their own news introductions.


A smaller number of students were off timetable all day to put together a video report. The story this year was about the new hub being built in the school and the question of whether a new library is necessary in the digital age.





The video report is the best ever produced by the school, showing a good understanding of the conventions but also a high level of creativity.

BBC School report 2015   19 – March – 2015


By Rosie and Katie

Here at Glenthorne on the 19th March, 21 year 8s were honoured with the opportunity to participate in the BBC School Report 2015.

Off timetable all day, in groups, we prepared an official news report. It contained interviews, Vox pops with the Sixth Form, and establishing shots of the school that we filmed for the report.

We prepared for the day with two after school sessions in which we learnt techniques on how to write newspaper articles and secondly how to use a camera and tripod.
Using these newly established skills on the day, we successfully managed to piece together a selection of facts, opinions and figures based on the theme of our younger generation and the general election that is soon approaching.

We had the honour to gain opinions from sixth formers, head students and Mr Hume with the occasional aid of some teachers and other sixth formers. We worked speedily with Asim presenting - and Roanna recording the voice over - to complete our final report.

The day finished with two guest speakers reflecting on their experiences of working in the Media.

Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the day learning many new skills, including our teamwork and many different media techniques.
