Roedean School

Roedean School

Andrew Lutwyche

Maths Teacher

How would you rate your expectations prior to running the course – and why?

3
of 10
I am not hugely into performing arts and I was with a year group that I didn’t know that well. I feared that I would be spending the whole day “chivvying” the two groups I was looking after to do what they were supposed to be doing instead of messing around all day.

How satisfied were you with the course – and why?

9
of 10
Almost every student enjoyed and got something useful out of the day, even if it was learning some of the secrets of filming that they watch all the time! The films were genuinely impressive, far beyond what I initially imagined which is a credit to both the course and the students involved.

Course rating by categories.

Quality of pupil films

Some were better than others but all were good in the time given.

How likely are you to recommend the course – and why?

of 10
I have been involved in numerous days similar to this over my 20+ years of teaching and this is one of the best I have experienced. It relies on the enthusiasm of the students but most would be enthused by it and teachers just need to be there for support, no more.

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

I watched all the video lessons beforehand and this was very useful as I knew what was coming up. As a teacher you are there to advise and the students actually really appreciate the teacher involvement; ultimately though this is an opportunity for the students to produce something almost entirely independently so let them do that.

About Roedean School

Roedean School is an independent day and boarding school founded in 1885 in Roedean Village on the outskirts of Brighton, East Sussex, England, and governed by Royal Charter. It is for girls aged 11 to 18. The campus is situated near the Sussex Downs, on a cliff overlooking Brighton Marina and the English Channel.
Roedean school is a wonderful school where pupils have the chance to grow up at your own pace, in beautiful surroundings, and let their talents and imagination run free. Few schools in the country enjoy such an inspirational location so close to the sea and a national park, and the accommodation and facilities here are exceptional. Roedean is a school where students flourish.
The girls perform exceptionally well academically, with every girl achieving her best.  Their successes are the result of their curiosity and intellectual engagement, as well as their developing self-confidence and maturity. Making learning exciting and memorable lies at the heart of a Roedean education. However, academic results are not the sole success criteria:  along with other girls aged from 11 to 18, many from Sussex and London, and others from over thirty different countries, they enjoy a holistic education, and be inspired as much by the world outside the classroom as the world within it in. At Roedean, every aspect of school life complements the others, and it is precisely this rounded education which produces independent and creative young women who will make their mark in the world.
Roedean school is growing in number, and new students joining a school which is dynamic and vibrant, with space to breathe and think. It is an extraordinary school – we hope that all students will enjoy our school, but we believe that nothing can better a visit to get to know the girls, staff, and school first-hand.

Headington U4s put their filmmaking skills to the test with @1DayFilmSchool last Thursday. The girls spent the day learning techniques in fight choreography, camera work, screenwriting and more! They then put together short 2min films which were premiered at the end of the day!

It's been a month since the new @CityofLdnSchool film launched, made by the pupils (with help from us @YoungFilm). It speaks volumes if a school is prepared to put its marketing in pupils' hands - a bit of a gamble, but one that paid off. Well done, boys!
