Bath Studio School (Inglaterra) | Destino: Educação - Escolas Inovadoras

what we do every day here I think is support the development of self-esteem support the the ability for each child to maybe take a little risk to go beyond their comfort zone and for me that's what education and learning is about it's about inspiring it's about learning existing knowledge developing skills but it's surely for us and I think important in the 21st century about allowing students the freedom to create new ideas to create new knowledge and to to experiment in their learning and have the freedoms to try out new ideas and and take the learning to another level and and what we try and do in our school every day is to give them those opportunities to do that [Music] w [Music] [Music] they teach us as if we're adults so it's just you get to know the teachers more as you would in in an everyday school how we can use the studio and the equipment we have is quite professional and uh quite expensive as well um and be treated with a lot of respect the Practical element of our school is fantastic we have so many opportunities to do different sort of genres in TV and film what the teachers really tried to do is they tried to include us in most of the school decisions so we are quite involved in the school's [Music] decisions in 2012 I was approached Ed um by the studio school's trust to to consider um a studio School the studio school's trust is an organization is a charity set up to promote the judio school mod of learning and I had a blank piece of paper I had had an empty building a building that was not fit for purpose for education to be honest and I had an idea that learning could take place if we transformed this building into something quite authentic that that had meaning to the students in terms of the world of [Music] work I did a lot of research about what were the current High performing jobs in the local area and also regionally and nationally and I also looked at information about what the predictions were for the future and the digital Creative Media industry is growing exponentially in this area of the southwest of England so there are going to be a lot of new jobs in fact they reckon about 177,000 new jobs in the next five years for this area alone in that sector and it's a sector that's unknown to me because I'm a scientist by by background but it's a sector which I know is very creative where new ideas are developed people experiment and for me that was important because I think learning is about that it's about not just learning facts and then being able to repeat them in an exam but also about um trying out trying out new ideas and testing hypothesis so for me uh the Creative Media sector was the ideal specialism to adopt for the [Music] school and then I went to the department for education in London and sold the idea and they gave me 2. 8 million to to realize their ambition [Music] our youngest students arrive at the age of 14 and they follow gcsc and igcc courses which um are the main qualifications that most 14 to 16 year olds have to take here in England um our older students who join us from 16 um do a range of qualifications that do btech qualifications that do a levels and for some we have special certificate courses as well so for example we offer a levels and B techs in business in photography in broadcast journalism in it uh and in Creative Media PR tasty on the if I'm speaking to the entire class I need to project into the class across the whole room if we're just talking just me then I would lower my voice a little bit and speak in an appropriate register for that situation in terms of our curriculum at the age of 14 there are some subjects which are mandatory but they're very minimal so for example our students have to learn about English mathematics science and our students also have to learn about personal and health and social welfare for our older students we don't have any constraints on the curriculum whatsoever we're able to offer what we think meets the needs for students and most importantly um also me meets the needs for future employers presentation as well so you need to pick someone who you work quite well with who's your general default partner yeah the difference I suppose is the combination of the vocational learning and the academic learning and the work experience it's a very unique model in that sense [Music] [Music] I think the the drive for this school for me is to make sure that all of the students leave with the ability to gain jobs and become as employable as possible welcome everybody to this uh special edition of question time where we're going to talk to Jillian josea from Sky News and uh she's given up a time today to um answer some of your questions and to give you some tips about what it's like to work in the broadcast industry welcome nice to see you Jo okay so we're going to start with our first question our first question is from bu in year 11 um hi Jillian um can you explain the life of a Sky News a day in the life of a Sky News presenter a day in the life of a Sky News presenter well it's different for uh each and every one of us um for me it um doesn't usually involve an awful lot of sleep um
