Year 9 pupils recently took part in News Day where they were encouraged to share and present news stories in their own way. There was no set theme this year with pupils given the opportunity to explore all things news, focusing on what interests them.

During the first part of the day pupils learnt research and editing skills, discussed fake news and looked at how regional news differs from national news. In the second part of the day pupils then produced their own news stories.

There has been numerous fantastic articles produced by pupils and we hope that students consider entering the BBC Young Reporters Competition. Below are just some of the fabulous articles completed by pupils so far.
