SchoolsRadio.com - a Vision Initiative
SchoolsRadio.com encourages students up to 18 years to create and share their own audio programmes with other UK schools through a specially regulated networking site. Supporting many aspects of the National Curriculum, SchoolsRadio.com helps develop creativity, self-confidence and team work, improving literacy, speech and technical skills - all whilst stimulating dialogue between enthusiastic young people. Launched last year by the Secretary of State, Department for Children, Schools and Families, SchoolsRadio.com provides an opportunity for children of all ages and abilities to get their voices heard as they explore the powerful and popular medium of radio.
Schools Radio is proud of its sponsors which include Sony, Arqiva and Riley Productions
