The street cred of three Gravesend youngsters is being boosted
as they hit the nation’s TV screens with rapper Kano.
The Thamesview School pupils were
among two-dozen students to help the star make the video for his
latest single, More Than One Way.
Raj Barsa, 15, and 17-year-olds
Charlie Rayfield and Georgia Bradford (pictured above) used
their knowledge from a diploma in construction to prepare the
set.
Now behind-the scenes footage is being
used for an advert promoting the new vocational qualification for
14 to 19-year-olds.
Kano said: "It’s a really important
campaign because there are too many kids who don’t think they can
make it to the top.
"They give up before they’ve even
started and that’s wrong – everyone can succeed, and it’s really
important that young people believe in themselves."
The Government advert will run for a
month. View footage of the Thamesview School pupils in action
