Episode Eight | Tuning into the Reach British School Radio

On this episode of BSME Talks, we revisit a standout moment from the BSME Annual School Leaders’ Conference 2026: the exciting launch of Reach British School Radio.

Nalini is joined by Kirsty Robertson, Head of Sixth Form, and Zain, a Year 12 student and members of the Reach British School Radio team, for an inside look at the story behind the station.

Broadcast to an audience spanning 46 countries, the launch at the BSME Annual School Leaders' Conference captured global attention, but the journey to get there was anything but simple.

Together, they explore what it really takes to build a school radio station from the ground up, the key considerations for schools looking to do the same, and the powerful impact student-led media can have across an entire school community.
