Film Education -

"All our pupils have severe learning difficulties so this provided good social skills experience as well as adding another medium for experiencing a story. "

"Both staff and students really enjoyed both films and they provided plenty of discussion and opportunities for follow up work. I was reminded once again of just how much can be gained from being together and having fun outside of the classroom setting. "

"An excellent opportunity for our students to experience film on the big screen. As a Film and Media Studies teacher, I welcome every opportunity of free screenings because it supports with work I am doing in the classroom and enables the student's to understand the Film Industry on a larger scale. "

"Good for raising multicultural awareness, which is a school and LEA target; it also tied in nicely with Black History Month. "

"It is important that children see different films like this so that they can make comments about the films, so they get to criticise and also so that we can talk about the films afterwards and analyse films and not just view films from a passive perspective but talk about them. "

"I think these type of screenings are really good because usually when they (students) go to the cinema they go to see a particular type of film, they don't get exposed to a whole variety and this gives them a chance to see that there is something else out there. "

"This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to experience film and link to the curriculum. We watched the visually impaired screening which helped us with our playscripts module. "
