With the end of the Young Shoots project looming, we were thrilled to find out on Friday that the hard work of one of our schools has been recognised by FILMCLUB.
Lord Scudamore Primary School in Hereford has been one of most enthusiastic participants and they’ve created a filmclub that is really valued by their pupils – prompting one 11 year old to nominate the school for Star school status. As a Star Club, Lord Scudamore Primary School represents all that the FILMCLUB inititiative was designed to achieve – uniting, engaging and challenging young minds through the power of film.
The film club at Lord Scudamore is exceptional because from the start the staff have done all they can to recreate a relaxed and exciting cinema experience. They have purchased bean bags for the children to sit on, found black out curtains for the windows and provide snacks for the audience to enjoy whilst they watch a diverse range of film including mainstream animations like ‘Hoodwinked’, documentaries such as ‘An Artic Tale’ and classic cinema like ‘Its a Wonderful Life’ and ‘Out of Africa’. Parents are kept informed of screening choices via weekly newsletters with a synopsis and the films BBFC rating.
If Lord Scudamore choose to become a Star Club (which we hope they will do) they’ll receive special Star Club posters and an invitation to our fantastic celebratory Star Day in London!
