We are delighted to be working with a BBC producer (and Clifton High School parent!) who is collaborating with the team behind BBC Radio 4 ‘s Inside Science programme.

A group of our Year 9 pupils have been given the opportunity to record thoughtful questions in response to the UK Government’s recent announcement regarding a proposed ban on social media for under-16s. These questions will be put to a panel of experts who have advised the government and contributed to the research behind the decision-making.

The recording took place here at School and we are proud to share that our pupils’ voices will be featured on BBC Radio 4, airing at 4.30pm.
