On the 2nd of February, the school made their debut episode of the EBC TV series!

The evening began with a reception in the Birley Centre foyer which included drinks and snacks before everyone made their way into the JWA for the production The hardworking cast and crew members were then introduced before the screening of the first episode of "Surviving School," began

The episode centres around multiple characters who go through various struggles at school, such as competing for roles such as Head of House and Prefect, fitting in as a new Year 9 student and settling in to multiple aspects of school life that we have all experienced The cast and crew have worked incredibly hard since the start of this academic year from writing, casting, acting, set design, costume, makeup and editing and we eagerly await the next episode!

A well-known producer called Mark Freeland, who is the executive producer of “Dodger”, a CBBC series, joined us following a Q&A after the end of the episode to discuss and help give advice to those wanting to follow in his footsteps

The person with the best question got a pickle sandwich that he had made after a story about his childhood!

Overall, there was a great turnout of feedback, considering it was the first time the actors themselves saw the final product put together! To celebrate, the amazing catering team created an incredible cake for the whole EBC TV production team! Bafta-style awards were also given out after the screening for those involved.
