BBC Children’s and Education Orders Back-to-School Content

BBC Children’s and Education has lined up back-to-school commissions and online content, including the brand-new Dodge’s Pup School, a Parents’ Toolkit, a Time for School film and more.

The Parents’ Toolkit and a Time for School film will be available in the Bitesize area of the CBeebies Little Learners app.

BBC has also renewed Waffle the Wonder Dog, made by made by Darrall Macqueen, and ordered a fourth season of Time for School. The new season of Time for School, made by Sixth Sense Media, premiered on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer on August 12.

Kate Morton, senior head of commissioning  for 0 to 6 at BBC Children’s and Education, said: “Helping our youngest audiences understand the world around them is a crucial part of all of our programming, and we know that the return to school, or perhaps starting big school for the first time, can be a mix of emotions for little ones and parents alike. Our latest commissions provide new and exciting ways for our audience to prepare for that change, with familiar favorites like Dodge providing lots of laughs along the way, the adorable Waffle taking us on new adventures and Time for School showing us what it’s like to be starting reception. Plus, our new online content ensures that support is easily accessible through Bitesize and the CBeebies Little Learners app.”
