Children love the movies! The crazy, scary
characters, the dark, mysterious locations, the
triumphs and predicaments of the heroes they love.
The Silverscreen Primary Education Programme aims

their Literacy and Topic studies at school.
Using a range of new and well loved movies and, of course, film
making, our courses will bring your new curriculum to life in a truly
inspiring and unforgettable way.

Studying original Hollywood scripts and
the films they went on to be, the children
study the creation, structure and

taking their thoughts through from idea,
to characterization and setting, then
finally, to the filming of their own scenes

Working with small groups of up to 12 pupils, our intensive 12 week
courses, delivered one day a week over a full term, aim to challenge
each child to master each style of writing, and to develop new
strategies for progressing through their personal writing targets. Using a
range of amazing topics and movies, the children take part in visits and
other practical activities, often with visiting professionals all as they
push themselves to be the best they can be!
