I was expecting it to be good though as I couldn’t see the material until payment was made, I couldn’t allow my expectations to go higher than this.

I think it is very useful for any teachers who are unsure of the different shooting angles and cutting techniques and how these are employed in the film industry. Also, it would be useful for any teachers aiming to inspire pupils.

Any other comments that may be useful for other schools to read when considering this course?

I found that the course can easily be spread over several weeks.

I am highly likely to recommend this course as it fitted well for one day, great skills, students enjoyed it and were creative.

Any other comments?

Excellent self-contained course – minimal teacher input on the day, but great student engagement. Excellent support from Ed and the team. It does take a little sorting out by the lead teacher, but once students login the day pretty much runs itself.

I thought the communication and support provided prior to the course was excellent. No question was too small and Ed was really responsive and happy to help. It looked like a great course and I was certain my pupils would gain a lot from completing it.

The girls had a great day. The videos were engaging and well put together. The structure of the course was well thought through and has led to some great quality pieces being produced.

Did you feel the course was good value for money – if so, why?

Yes, having the year access makes it great value.

This was exactly the kind of thing that the girls needed. It was educational and fun. It helped them to develop some new skills. The nature of the challenge meant that each pupil could find their role that they were comfortable with.

About St Catherine’s School

St Catherine’s School is a Catholic independent school for girls in Twickenham, London. The school is next to the River Thames and about two-thirds of a mile (1.1 km) from both Strawberry Hill and Twickenham railway stations.
Founded in a large house near Twickenham Green, St Catherine’s then moved to Orford Lodge (now demolished) and in 1919 to Pope’s Villa, on the site of Alexander Pope’s original villa. By 1961 it was recognised by the Ministry of Education as a grammar school. In 1948 the school bought a house on Cross Deep known as The Lawn, where it is currently located.
Up until 1991 the school was home to a number of Sisters who were also members of the staff. They moved out and the school became a charitable trust managed by lay persons in 1992. It is the only independent Roman Catholic girls’ school in the Richmond area and is within the Archdiocese of Westminster. It remains a Roman Catholic foundation but takes students of all religious affiliations. It has a preparatory school(entry typically at three-years-old) and a senior school (entry at eleven-years-old). Nearly one-third of the pupils are of minority ethnic groups, but more than ninety per cent of the pupils have English as a first language.
