Exciting TTKidz filming hailed a success
Filming for the TTKidz programme took place at Shakespeare Primary School, Leeds, with Steve Brunskill in attendance supporting Area Manager, Lauren Evans and joined by Tim McGovern, from, the Engagement Team, to film for the latest TTKidz programme which is set to be launched.
The Headteacher of School was extremely supportive, allowing full use of the sports hall and enabling a group of well-behaved pupils to take part in the filming throughout the day. The children worked brilliantly through the games and activities and were a real credit to the school.
It was a fantastic day for everyone involved, and sincere thanks go to the school staff and especially the children — for their enthusiasm and support. Watch this space for updates on the TTKidz programme and the videos to be released from the filming.
