Fan Casting BBC Schools

Since it began on 24 September 1957 on BBC1 before moving to BBC2 in 1983 with Daytime on 2 as programmes were broadcast all day (from just after 9am until 3pm during the autumn and spring terms – fewer programmes were shown during the summer term). Daytime on Two continued to air until June 1997 and when daytime programmes for schools returned that autumn, they were merely branded under the title of School Programmes with the final daytime schools programme on BBC Two shown on 26 March 2010. 15 years later, the BBC School Programmes are back which starts on 1 September 2025 from Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 6:00pm on BBC2, with the new school programmes featured Our Family, My World Kitchen, Old Jack’s Boat, Time for School, Something Special and many many more to enjoy for all ages.
