Maidenhead pupils grill Theresa for BBC School Report challenge

  • 29 Mar 2011

Pupils from Claires Court Schools have interviewed Theresa as part of the BBC’s School Report challenge. The School Report takes place every year and gives children aged 11 to 14 the chance to make their own news reports on issues of concern to them. Theresa was interviewed by Year 9 pupils from Claires Court Schools, who wanted to know about her work in the constituency as part of their investigation into facilities and opportunities for teenagers in Maidenhead and how this relates to local teenage crime.

Commenting afterwards, Theresa said: “I was very pleased to be able to take part in the School Report challenge. This is an excellent project which I hope will have encouraged many local children to develop skills and to think about a career in the media. The professionalism of the pupils at Claries Court was very impressive, and it was great to hear directly from them about the issues that they are concerned about.”
