BBC Delivers Its Biggest Education Offer In Its History

With school closes again, the BBC have announced their plans to offer its biggest education offer in its history.

The support will be available on 4 of the BBC’s platforms, BBC Two, CBBC, BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer. The aim here is to ensure all children can access curriculum-based learning, even if they don’t have access to the internet.

Starting on Monday 11th January on CBBC will see a three-hour block of primary school programming from 9am, including BBC Live Lessons and BBC Bitesize Daily, as well as other educational programming such as Our School and Celebrity Supply Teacher and much loved titles such as Horrible Histories, Art Ninja and Operation Ouch.

BBC Two will cater for secondary students with programming to support the GCSE curriculum, with a least two hours of content each weekday.

Content will be built around Bitesize Daily secondary shows, complemented by Shakespeare and classic drama adaptations alongside science, history and factual titles from the BBC’s award-winning factual programming units.

Bitesize Daily primary and secondary will also air every day on BBC Red Button as well as episodes being available on demand on BBC iPlayer.
