Entitled Black and Gold, the online station will air every breaktime and lunchtime during school days and has a licence to play the latest music tracks.

Business teacher Justin Worland has been leading the project, which has attracted numerous students keen to either present or produce shows or promote the station.

As well as playing music, it will be used to talk about topical issues such as the peer listening scheme which is aimed at combating bullying and helping those youngsters who may be being bullied.

Business and enterprise subject coordinator Paul Skone said: “This is really great experience for pupils.

“As it is internet-based, it can be picked up on iPads, phones and computers from anywhere.

“Soon we will have a link directly from the school’s website for people to listen in.”

The station is being used to give experience to business students and it will be officially launched at an enterprise lunch on February 22, when local companies will be invited to sponsor it for a short period of time.

It will also be used to give valuable experience to the school’s media students.
