UK School News was launched by award-winning journalist Gary Phelps to share good news from schools.
In today’s fragmented media landscape, there’s often less room for positive, community-based reporting that keeps communities and catchment areas up to date on events and achievements within their local school – from sports to exams, from arts to STEM.
These are stories that recognise the achievements of students, the dedication of staff and the community connections that bind a school to the area it serves.
UK School News reports on those stories, sharing photographs and videos that capture school life at its most colourful, while providing schools and families with links they can share on Social Media.
We feature news from across the full spectrum of schools in the UK – from primary to secondary, from state to selective to private.
By partnering with UK School News, schools and multi academy trusts get access to a quality, professional news platform that shares their news, along with a dedicated page for each school.
Our editorial guidelines
At Uk School News, we produce accurate, informative and entertaining content that meets the needs of our education partners, promoting their successes, sharing their news and informing their school communities. That means working strictly within the traditional legal and ethical constraints applied to Uk media, including the Editors’ Code of Practice.
We also work hard to comply with schools’ wishes regarding vulnerable students and individuals and seek photographic and video permission wherever necessary. Where applicable, content is signed off by the appropriate headteacher or senior member of staff before publication.
We are committed to dealing with inaccuracies promptly, and believe in accountable journalism.
These high standards are informed by more than 25 years of experience in journalism.
