Budding News Reporters take BBC by Storm

Fourteen talented students today proved that they were as good as the professionals when they had their first go at broadcasting and were declared a resounding success. The students, from Acland Burghley School in Tuffnell Park, were taking part in the BBC's new scheme for budding young news reporters: BBC School News Report. Hosted by the Camden City Learning Centre, they were given just one day to research, write, rehearse and record a full news programme, targeted at viewers of the BBC's Six O'Clock News. Their work will be broadcast over the internet to audiences worldwide on March 22nd.

All of the students involved in the project enjoyed the day and worked tremendously hard.

Editor-in-chief Kirsty McArthur declared: "It's harder than it looks, but it was well worth it!". Presented Sean Bennett said: "It was fantastic and very challenging too."

Acland Burghley teacher Russell Smith who organised of the trip said: "No comment", when questioned on how he thought the day had gone.
