Winners of our Young Reporter scheme for 2015 celebrated at awards

Surbiton.com: June 26, 2015 - 3:58pm

Surbiton High and Croydon High scoop top prizes in Young Reporter Awards Last night saw the fourth Newsquest Young Reporter Awards at Quadrant House in Sutton. Almost 80 people attended the event, made up of winning students, parents and teachers.

There were 15 prizes awarded in total, two of which were for best overall reporters. Nicola Evans, from Surbiton High, and Katie Harris, from Croydon High, both won the top reporter award in their age group, beating almost 700 students.

As part of their prize, all the winning students spent a day at Kingston University experiencing life as an undergraduate journalist student. Sydenham High, which signed up for the first time, entered four students, three of whom made it to the final.

The Young Reporter scheme has been running for seven years and is open to all secondary school students from Year 10 and above. This year, students from 66 schools across south-west and south-east London took part. Starting up again in September, the scheme will be extended into all high schools in Greater London, within the M25 area. This is an exciting and unique opportunity, offering work experience for a real live online newspaper.
