Workington Academy Radio

This year, we were nominated for secondary school station of the year for the second year running. We sadly didn’t win the award but were lucky enough to be part of the live awards ceremony on YouTube, featuring the biggest names in radio! One of these being the amazing Greg James from BBC Radio 1.

During lockdown our radio team asked Greg some questions. Take a listen.
