We are delighted to share Sixth Form pupil, Francesca E’s article, It’s time to reflect, fight and unite, published as part of the Young Reporter Scheme. Written for this year’s International Women’s Day, Francesca’s article celebrates the progress that has been made so far towards equality, but acknowledges that there is still work to be done in order to achieve gender parity.

Four of our Sixth Form pupils are taking part in the London-wide Young Reporter Scheme as part of the co-curricular programme here at FHS. The scheme enables pupils to try their hands working as reporters, in what has become a highly competitive industry. It is a great way of experiencing life in the media, working for a real live news organisation and involves pupils in Years 10-11 and Sixth Form.

We look forward to sharing more stories with you from our budding young journalists!
