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

8
of 10
Your reviews suggested it was an excellent course, but I worried I did not have the expertise to deliver it as well as others.

How satisfied were you with the course – and why?

10
of 10
I really should not have worried about not being up to the task! Everything is laid out in the videos and the pupils all understood every instruction and I did not need to explain or replay anything, they focused, engaged and then produced.

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

10
of 10
Yes. A full day of content – the pupils were on task all day and needed very little teacher intervention. Our job was to enjoy and encourage.

This course was such a special day for the students at The Oratory School. It did not feel like a day in school for them at all but a real end of term treat.

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

This was a fabulous course and I am so glad we participated. The day runs like clockwork and pupils produce high quality films from the first hour and are constantly learning and practising new skills. At the end of the day my pupils were asking if we could have another day of film school tomorrow! The course is accessible to all ages and abilities and encourages coeducation and collaboration. if you get the opportunity to run a one day film school, take it!

About The Oratory School

The Oratory School is a Co-educational independent Roman Catholic day and boarding school for pupils aged 11–18 located in Woodcote, north-west of Reading. Founded in 1859 by Saint John Henry Newman. The Oratory has historical ties to the Birmingham Oratory and the London Oratory School. Although a separate entity from the nearby Oratory Preparatory School, it shares a common history. Saint John Henry Newman founded the school with the intention of providing boys with a Roman Catholic alternative to Eton College. The school is “an active choice for families looking for a small, nurturing environment… Parents tell us – ‘it’s like a new school’; ‘we all want to be on board… With excellent leadership and now girls on board, too, The Oratory seems to be thriving.” 
The Oratory has received the highest grade of ‘Excellent’ for both Independent Schools Inspectorate categories: pupils’ academic & other achievements and pupils’ personal development. It states the following: “Pupils say that they are encouraged to be ambitious about their academic achievements, including their public examination targets… The school reinforces this through a traditional and academically challenging curriculum, within which pupils are given a wide choice of subjects.” Also “(Pupils) enjoy strong relationships with their peer group as well as teaching and boarding staff. The school motto “Heart Speaks to Heart” is enacted daily.” 
The Oratory School is unique Boarding and Day Catholic School for Boys and Girls aged 11 to 18, just outside Reading, which combines strong academic results with a supportive family ethos. It is genuinely an all-round school and we believe in nurturing pupils to achieve their very best in whatever it is they set out to do.

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!
