BBC Young Reporter

BBC Young Reporter Competition is a journalism project for students aged 11 to 18 across the UK. It’s a unique extra-curricular opportunity to share story ideas with BBC journalists, producers and programme makers, with the best ideas being selected and broadcast across the BBC on television, radio or online.

In honour of BBC Young Reporter 2024, a small group of Year 8 students took part in a 'Be a Journalist Day'. Mrs Ewing ran a session on research and fact-checking before students researched a topic of their choice. Students conducted interviews and wrote their own articles based upon their findings; topics ranged from AI to illegal drug use in sport. We hope you enjoy reading some of their work.

19/12/2024Thank you to everyone that supported our Christmas Concert last night, it was a marvellously festive occasion showcasing some of our very talented students and staff. We’re sure you don’t need reminding but tomorrow is the final day of term and school finishes at 12.55pm. We wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a restful and very happy Christmas and we look forward to welcoming students back into school on Tuesday 7th January. Happy holidays!

16/12/2024Our year group Christmas lunches kicked off today with Year 7! They enjoyed the traditional turkey roast with their tutor group, pulled crackers, wore the hats, told the jokes, listened to the festive tunes and generally celebrated the end (nearly!) of their first term at Woolmer Hill. 🎄🎄🎄

13/12/2024The Art department have been working on a wonderful community project in collaboration with the residents of the Chestnut View Care Home. At the heart of the project was the desire to bring together generations and to enable the students to learn about a life they haven't known; a life before disposables and convenience. The care home residents were asked to write stories about what life was like before plastic; stories of childhood, the second world war, making, mending and cooking. An afternoon was spent at the care home hearing the residents recount these tales to the students whilst they created illustrations to accompany them. These illustrations were then turned into ceramic relief tiles; ‘relief’ being sculpture on a flat surface. The Pottery Club then welcomed the residents in to school, to help with glazing the illustrated tiles that reflected their memories. It was a wonderfully creative afternoon of collaborative work and it was a joy to see these generations forming such a creative relationship. So far the residents and WH students have created a beautiful story board, using the relief tiles, of the memories of what life was like before plastic. We are very proud of our community connections and in due course, we will be adding the written stories to the tiles and this fantastic piece of living history will be displayed in Haslemere for the whole community to appreciate and enjoy. #ProudToBelong #communityproject #CommunityCollaboration #creatingapieceofhistory

In exchange for wearing home clothes, we are asking for a donation to this worthy cause of £2, to be collected on the school gate on Friday morning…please bring cash! 🎄🎅🏻🎄 #ChristmasJumperDay #SaveTheChildren #endofterm
