Our Media Studies students had a fantastic, hands-on day at Sky Studios, putting their classroom learning into practice in a real-life setting. "A week prior, we completed storyboards to plan movie ideas for our activities at Sky Studios. We got the chance to bring these storyboards to life in state-of-the-art studios where we created 90 second trailers for our own made-up movies, using a green screen to place ourselves anywhere. We were allocated different roles and corresponding lanyards, such as actors, cinematographers, directors and editors. We chose props and outfits then filmed and edited our trailers before heading to the Sky Sports live studio to watch the presenters and staff working on live sports coverage. The trip was extremely supportive of the Media Studies curriculum and even inspired some of us to pursue career opportunities in the media, perhaps at Sky!" Year 12 Media Studies students (fb)

Just a reminder that our Careers Fair is taking place tomorrow evening. In addition to stalls from employers, universities and apprenticeship providers, we also have an array of expert guest speakers lined up, ready to give an insight into their own career journeys and professions, and provide advice on how to stand out in a competitive job market. It is a great opportunity for students to start exploring different avenues - to gain more information on careers that they may already be considering as well as opening their eyes to new possibilities. The Careers Fair is free to attend, but please book your place here https://bit.ly/4aTRE6b (fb)
