BBC School Report

Year 7 Students from this school made the news for real on 24 March 2011 when they took part in BBC News School Report. You may see their report by clicking on the BBC School Report logo. Not only did students research and write their own reports, but they subsequently presented them in the "newsrooms" which were parts of the Music, English and Media departments transformed in just one day! Some reports even included video footage of special interviews which students filmed themselves.

Have a look at the variety of our reports which include:

Fashion Industry

Red Nose Day and the Tsunami Fundraising activities

Kingswood Gifted and Talented Trip

Inspirational Women Conference

The Olympics in Essex

The Fire in Billericay High Street

Mr Ullmann's Charity Bike Expedition... which leads us to this...

Mr Ullmann's Charity Bike Ride

Mr Ullmann, Head of Modern Languages is retiring at Easter and is cycling from London to Vienna in aid of the Red Cross and in memory of his brother, Frederick Ullmann who devoted over 40 years to the service of education. Our Mr Ullmann is cycling to raise money for the Red Cross which had a great significance for his family bringing news to his father of his own mother's safety when she was left behind in Austria in 1938. This meant so much to him in his hour of need and he was for ever grateful to the Red Cross, bearer of good news.

Mr Ullmann will set out from London at 12.00 noon on Monday April 11th and arrive in Vienna at 12.00 p.m. on Saturday April 30th. He will be travelling on a bike laden with luggage, tent and sleeping bag and weighing some 40 kilos. He will cover some 1400 miles at a daily rate of between 70 and 80 miles (115 - 130 kms.) - not a mean feat for a 60 year old!!!

Billericay School's Own Book!

You can purchase our very own book written by Sylvia Kent, a well-known local author from the school RBLC. Sylvia wrote the book especially for The Billericay School and it includes photographs and reminiscences over the years which provide a fascinating insight to the local history of Billericay and the people who lived there (and still do!)

Please contact Mrs Clare in the RBLC by telephone or email the school office for a copy priced at £10. All profits will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital and The James Dorrington Fund. This would make a fantastic present, and a valued memento of time spent at the school.
