Cinema
We organise free film screenings and events, exclusively for schools and home educators, across the year. These are programmed to link to topics, conversations and events relevant to children and young people, including International Women’s Day and Refugee Week, and are delivered in partnership with organisations including Into Film, BAFTA, and the Oska Bright Film Festival.
Bring your learners to experience modern cinema, gain insight into the film industry and career pathways and enjoy a fun day out of the classroom.
