BBC School Report is the project managed by BBC School Report Team which gives 11 – 16 years-old students opportunities to make their own news reports for real life audience.
 
In addition to the main BBC School Report Day in March each year, there are BBC School Report Practice Days throughout the year to help students gain hand-on experience before their BIG day in March in reporting.
 
The School Report Newsday in in March and our pupils are constantly looking for new stories to cover so if you know of anything that you think we should be reporting on please get in touch.
 
The academy year 2011 -2012 sees our 4th time that Whitley Academy (aka Whitley Abbey Business and Enterprise College) student reporters get involved in BBC School Report project.
 
Our diverse profile includes report on Ricoh Arena Stadium in Coventry in March 2011, Lord Sebastian Coe’s visit to Perryfields primary school in Birmingham in October 2011, and most recently; interview with Julia O’Connell – the lead artist creating the extraordinary size-54- coat for Imagineer Productions Godiva Awakes as a part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
