The BAFTA Roadshow with Place2Be arrives in Harrow
This week, BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and Place2Be travelled to Harrow to bring the BAFTA Roadshow to Heathland Primary School.
On Wednesday 6 December, MC Grammar (MC Grammar's Wonder Raps), Kia Pegg (CBBC's Tracy Beaker Returns, The Dumping Ground) and Gwendoline Christie (Netflix's Wednesday) went to Heathland Primary School. They surprised the children during their morning assembly as part of the BAFTA and Place2Be's national school roadshow.
The children were also able to take part in a special presenting masterclass, competitions and a roundtable discussion.
What is the BAFTA Roadshow?
The Roadshow exists to champion children’s creativity and teach important life skills through film, games, and television.
Each roadshow includes a variety of interactive elements, including:
- competitions
- round table discussions
- classroom meet and greets
- a games design workshop
- presenting masterclass.
The activities give children access to creative talent and positive role models, while raising awareness and encouraging young people interested in a career in arts and media.
BAFTA has been partnering with Place2Be since 2016. This year the BAFTA Roadshow has visited a number of Place2Be partner schools across Scotland, Wales and England.
