Young Reporter Scheme 2022
We are thrilled to announce that the Young Reporter scheme has been awarded the Education Programme Specialist of the Year Award for 2022. It is an activity that we offer for all students to sign up to and take part in if they would like to. The Young Reporter scheme is a schools programme giving students aged 14-18 an opportunity to write for a real live online newspaper. The programme runs for eight months during the school term, with various opportunities offered along the way.
âAt the end of the scheme students are judged on the articles they have submitted throughout the year and an awards ceremony is held for the winners. Students receive mentoring from a journalist currently working in the field. The young reporters are made aware about the legalities of journalism including confidentiality and plagiarism. It is a great opportunity for our students to be involved in and we look forward to more students signing up next year.
