BBC Television for Schools

The BBC's output for schools spanned radio, monochrome television, the arrival of colour and finally the move to BBC2. This section preserves the continuity sequences, programme slides and music that accompanied those broadcasts.

Please explore the restored archives below. All content retains its original layout and imagery, polished just enough to work smoothly on the modern site.

BBC Schools Continuity

Take a chronological journey through BBC Schools presentation, from the pioneering pie chart countdown through to the BBC2 Daytime on 2 era. Images, audio and MPEG clips document each era in detail.
