A new beginning at Hurstmere School
A working partnership inside the curriculum has a very positive impact
We realised we shared a synergy with Hurstmere School for giving young people innovative opportunities to express themselves creatively in October 2021. By putting the production process into the hands of young people, it enables them to increase their understanding of digital media and work with their peers to construct new digital outcomes, where they bring their ideas and narratives to life using broadcast technologies. Hurstmere gave us a contract and the space for an immersive multi-camera green screen studio and production control room, a base, and we gave them an independent TV Production Company on site. You can read more about our inclusive learning by doing approach here.

Welcome to our new e2e Crew #23
Moving forward, we held interviews in the Summer of 2023, to talk to the young people who had applied to become a crew member. We met them and their parents to discuss this unique opportunity, which resulted in end2end TV appointing a new crew made up of children from nine schools across Bexley (Y6-10). Young stakeholders; integral and important voices in our community interest company.
