Yesterday we welcomed the BBC into our school so that they could report on our amazing eSports provision!
Following the journey of our accidental, international eSports celebrity, Mrs Coulson (teacher of Science for LiFE MAT), the BBC visited our school to see how Mrs Coulson’s rise to fame has had a direct benefit to our students and school community.
Visiting our purpose built, one of a kind, eSports centre, the BBC reporter was understandably impressed and amazed at the exceptional facilities available to our students, and how our students have an opportunity to undertake an A-Level in eSports, and also participate in eSports enrichment clubs.
Interviewing students from our eSports club, he was impressed with the level of focus and determination they have for playing competitive gaming, in a brilliant environment that has been designed to inspire. A-Level students discussed the opportunities the course gives them with their future careers and university courses too, and how our eSports arena is uniquely qualified to fulfil their ambitions.
Mrs Coulson explained that eSports is a multinational sport that is fast becoming one of the largest entertainment industries on the planet, attracting huge sums of money, both in terms of investment, careers and prize money. Mrs Coulson explained how the eSports arena came about as a direct result of her association with the internationally recognised Cloud9 gaming team, with input from eSports coaches from across the UK and world.
