Last week, thinkpublic’s film department worked with students at the John Kelly Girls’ Technology College in Neasden, London to make films that would help inform the development of their school. We challenged 28 Year 7 (11-12yrs) students to storyboard, film and edit five films describing what they want for the future of their school. Ideas ranged from escalators instead of stairs and uniforms for teachers, to curriculum changes. The workshop aimed to both support the forthcoming new Key Stage 3 curriculum, teaching independence and self-confidence, and feed into the development of new school buildings.
