The Young BAFTA Roadshow with Place2Be arrives in South London
Children at Surrey Square Primary in South London were surprised with a Young BAFTA Roadshow visit this week, hosted by presenter Shanequa Paris (BBC Newsround, Radio 1) and actor Inel Tomlinson (Horrible Histories, CBBC).
The school recently took home the top prize at the 2024 Pearson National Teaching Awards, winning Gold for Making a Difference - Primary School of the Year.
The Young BAFTA 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 and roundtable discussions, classroom meet and greets, as well as a presenting masterclass and a games design workshop. This all enables the children to build their confidence while highlighting BAFTA’s Young Presenter initiative, and its Young Game Designers programme, which is now open for entries.
The activities on offer grant children access to creative talent and positive role models, while raising awareness and encouraging the diversity of young people interested in a career in arts and media.
BAFTA has been partnering with Place2Be since 2016. This year the Young BAFTA Roadshow has visited ten Place2Be partner schools across Scotland, Wales and England.
All selected schools that take part in the Roadshows have a free school meals rate above the national average.
