SR
Surely not every school will have someone with the expertise to produce these graphics, and there is no guarantee that they will have the software... i would have thought the BBC would provide the graphics for you?
Also... bit of advice... if you do end up doing the designs. Spend a bit more time on these graphics than you do on your mocks so you can have something good to be proud of when you look back.

They have provided us with stuff, but its from the last generation of BBC News, like this, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7153667.stm
We have current titles but they are below broadcast quality and cut off at the end without a hold on the globe. The BBC says this is fine for SR but we are putting the report 'as live' (recording it the day before or earlier in the day) and playing it out on our projection screens and plasma's throughout the building so we need higher quality.

Here's the only mention of graphics I can find in the teaching resource:
Nothing about recreating the current BBC look, complete with animation.
@OP: I'm not saying don't bother trying, but make sure you get the basic graphics sorted. It's easier to ruin good graphics with poor animation than it is to improve poor graphics with good animation.

Adding graphics
To make your report look really professional, add name and job titles. Have a look for the "title tool" or something that does the same job.
Using titles means that the reporter and interviewees don't need to spend time introducing themselves, for example: "I'm Professor Massam and I'm a Sports expert from the University of Nowhere." This helps to keep your report short and snappy.
When adding titles, keep the font plain and make the words big enough to read on screen. Make sure you spell names correctly!
Remember that if the person is under 18, only use their FIRST name.

We start Production on Wednesday, with the final 'Top Level' (Staff, Pupil Mentors, Craft & Design and IT Support) meeting on Monday.
One question, we are split on the set design: We have three panels that are currently painted white, would it be better to have 3 hidden projectors and project onto that, or to paint it a Chroma colour and key in our backdrop?
We are going to record our bulletin earlier in the day/the previous day (depending on timetable) and broadcast it as live, with the graphics played locally I=to our presenters so they know the timings and then edit together like a news package.

Depending on the projectors, you might be able to project the image onto the whole panel at a short distance, but that depends on the model. Assuming you have limited room for your set. This would be an easier solution.
If that is not possible, Chroma keying would be your final solution. You will have to use After Effects for that and export each individual film.
