TEACHERS at a secondary school in Hyndburn have recorded a rap song in the hope it will attract BBC Radio One.

The 30-second clip, recorded by students at Norden High School in Rishton, was entered into a competition in aid of Children in Need called Best Day Ever.

Open to secondary schools across the UK, schools are judged on their videos’ originality, creativity, and on the enthusiasm of the teacher.

Three finalists will compete live on Radio One in a series of harmless challenges, such as on air karaoke.

The national radio station, predominantly aimed at young people, will broadcast from the winning school.

In the video, history teacher Nicci Brown, dressed in a wig, raps: “Yo, yo, yo, BBC, oh goodness gracious me. Yo, yo, yo, come here to Norden, and help us relieve our boredom.

“Teachers are so enthusiastic, that’s why we’re so fantastic. Come here to humanities, where maths and English are the bee’s knees.

“If you come we’ll feed you school dinner, Mr Mitchell’s grub is a winner. We can all dress up silly but bring your coat, it might be chilly.

“Drive up the M6 to Lancashire, if you come to our school it’ll be spectacular.”

Also appearing in the video, which has had 5,000 hits online, is headteacher Tim Mitchell, deputy head Jo Bleasdale, English teachers Christine Montgomery and Jodie Richardson, science teacher Garry Robinson, drama teacher Michael Massey, and maths teacher Greg Stewart.

They were filmed by Year 11 student Caity Fawcett and her friends, who approached staff after spotting the competition online.

The school’s marketing officer, Claire Munroe, said: “The response has been outstanding. The students have loved it. They have loved seeing their teachers in a different role than they usually do.

“The teachers showed they are up for getting involved and are up for some fun.”
