The BNC Club is for KS3 students after school on Wednesday's, 3:05-3:45pm in E5.
The BNC is an Economist Educational Foundation run digital news club which focuses on KS3 engagement with wider world issues.
Each month students are given six weeks worth of material on a new exciting topic. Students will then create articles and reports on the topic, which will be uploaded onto the BNC website. Other schools can then comment and encourage discussion. We are also encouraged to do the same to other schools presented work. At the end of the term, a summary task is given, and we have the opportunity to produce a school newspaper, reporting on the topic and the work completed.
