Huge congratulations to our alumna Nia Deo!

Posted on by Carly Granger

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Nia Deo’s inclusion in the Aiir Radio Academy 30 Under 30 — a prestigious honour recognising her outstanding achievements and rising impact in the industry. 🌟📻

Introducing Nia Deo – Sony Music Entertainment Producer and Award-Winning Media Innovator:

Nia Deo, a Greenhead College alumna, is making waves in the media world as an award-winning producer for Sony Music Entertainment. Named to The Radio Academy’s 30 Under 30 (Class of 2025) for her outstanding achievements, Nia has quickly become a leading voice in podcasting and radio production.

Her journey into media began with a moment of inspiration: meeting Maya Jama on holiday and being asked to feature in a TV advert alongside her. This experience made Nia realise she wanted to create stories that connect and entertain. She started with a blog and student radio, which shaped her early career and set her on a path of creative storytelling.

Nia refined her skills through the Student Radio Association, Forge Radio, and the University of Sheffield before earning a Master’s in Broadcast Journalism at City, University of London. Today, she produces hit podcasts such as Liam and Millie and Where There’s a Will, There’s a Wake with Mel Giedroyc (formerly Kathy Burke), overseeing everything from scripting and recording to advertising and talent management. She also mentors the next generation of producers, sharing her expertise while continuing to grow in her craft.

Despite navigating high-pressure events, including live broadcasts during major news moments, Nia describes podcasting as “booming, new, fresh, and exciting.” Her story is a testament to curiosity, courage, and perseverance, showing that unconventional beginnings can lead to extraordinary success—and that it’s never too early to pursue your passion.

Her talent, drive, and creativity continue to inspire the Greenhead community. Well done, Nia — this is so deserved! 💚👏

Business and Economics trip to China:

Posted on by Carly Granger

Over half-term, our Business and Economics students embarked on an educational trip to China, visiting several businesses across Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai—including Yan Jing Brewery, the Volkswagen factory, and a working silk mill. Students explored key concepts from both A Levels: flow production, capital-intensive manufacturing, economic growth, enterprise culture, and marketing.
Students also visited iconic tourist attractions such as the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warrior excavation site, and Beijing Zoo. Throughout the trip, they compared Chinese products and brands to those in the UK, explored differentiation in global markets, and discussed the advantages of joint ventures with European companies.

Students Transform Holme Valley Food Bank’s Online Presence with New Website and Branding

Posted on by Carly Granger

In late 2024, Holme Valley Food Bank reached out to Greenhead to ask if any of our students would be interested in helping update their website and social media branding as a volunteer project. Steve Wood oversaw the project and at first, 25 students were divided into 4 teams, each creating their own design. Tracy Clark and Abbie Simpson from the food bank reviewed the designs and chose the features they liked best.

After this, members from different teams came together to form a group of 12 volunteers who worked on the final design. The project ran from February to June 2025.

The new Holme Valley Food Bank website was released to the public in July 2025 and officially launched later that summer. All social media channels and donation pages for Holme Valley Food Bank have been updated to use the revamped branding, logo and slogan.

Yesterday, Tracy and Abbie visited the students to thank everyone involved and hand out thank-you gifts, which was especially meaningful since they represent a charitable cause. They shared that “the public are already using the new site and saying how much easier it is to use and navigate, allowing them to get the help they need without any confusion or complication.” They also stated, “It is an invaluable tool, that they would have struggled to create themselves. So, thank you!”.
