BBC Bitesize’s School Tour 2019 ( Published: 07/01/2020)

Levenshulme High School hosted the BBC Bitesize Schools Tour in 2019

It was great to see such an inspiring project that sees the BBC Bitesize team take to the road to deliver a series of 1-hour career sessions to secondary school children. Our Levenshulme High School’s hall was set up like a ‘Question Time’ style setup featuring a panel of 3 professionals that had a career within the creative industry.

The event was hosted by Nick Bright who is a British Radio and television presenter. He currently hosts Saturday mid mornings on BBC Radio 1Xtra, The Squad on BBC Radio 5 Live, Sundays at midday, numerous different projects for BBC Sport and the Arsenal Matchday Show.

The aim of the event was to offer insight into the world of work and shine a light on routes into and opportunities within a sector that many of the pupils might not have considered. Students also participated in a Question and Answer session where they got the chance to learn more about the creative industry and about future jobs.
