Ribbon Radio and Podcast
At Ribbon Academy, we are proud to provide our children with meaningful opportunities to develop their communication, creativity and leadership skills through our media platforms.
Ribbon Radio is planned, produced and recorded each week by our Year 6 pupils. The team researches stories, writes scripts and presents broadcasts, sharing both local and global news with our school community. Through the programme, children develop their understanding of current affairs and learn the importance of being informed, thoughtful and responsible citizens. Each episode is uploaded to SoundCloud, allowing families and the wider community to stay connected with the latest news, events and achievements from Ribbon Academy.
We are also excited to launch the NEW Ribbon Podcast, which gives children an additional platform to share their ideas, experiences and learning. Episodes feature interviews, discussions, special guests, curriculum highlights, pupil voice, school events and celebrations from across the academy. The podcast provides an authentic audience for our children, helping them build confidence, communication skills and a love of storytelling while showcasing the many exciting opportunities available at Ribbon Academy.
Together, Ribbon Radio and The Ribbon Podcast ensure that pupil voice is at the heart of our school, giving children the opportunity to inform, inspire and entertain listeners while developing valuable skills that will benefit them both in school and beyond.
