“From the playground to the people”
ELFM began back in 2003 as a project led by pupils from John Smeaton Community High School. Since then we have enjoyed working with a huge range of schools. Here’s a selection of the best of ELFM’s recent broadcasting done in partnership with local schools

Old Smeaton
7th May 2008
Young people from John Smeaton High School have always been involved with East Leeds FM – in fact the first three voices ever heard on ELFM back in 2003 were all Year 9 girls from Smeaton. When the school was built back in the 1960s, it was a building ahead of it’s time – known as the Smeaton Project and designed by John Poulson – the (in)famous architect.
By 2007, the building itself was in a sorry state of repair – and a brand new school was being built next to the old one. As students and staff prepared for the move, Katy worked with Year 8 pupils to record their memories of the old place and their aspirations for the new school.
In 2008, ELFM plans to return soon to the new school building to find out how it’s all turned out…
