ABOUT THE PROJECT
This is an exciting 3 year programme where Chocolate Films is providing innovative filmmaking workshops that help disadvantaged primary school children who are struggling in maths and literacy. Each year, we work 15 pupils in three primary schools over 22 weeks as an after school club once a week. Year on year we have achieved a visible difference in the pupils self esteem and over 50% of the pupils have improved either their maths or literacy skills by two national curriculum sub-levels (equivalent to four Target Tracker steps.)

OUR GOAL
The project aims to excite young people about learning in a fun and creative way. During the workshops our facilitators work with pupils to create film ideas that involve a maths or literacy puzzle. Pupils develop ideas and characters, learn camera and sound recording skills and an introduction to the editing process. At the end of each year we arrange a celebratory screening at a local cinema and teachers share the films as a learning resource in schools.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
How To Succeed in School is now entering its final year, where we will be working with three primary schools in Lambeth; Archbishop Sumner Church of England Primary School, Reay Primary School, St John The Divine Primary School. If you would like to talk with us about running a similar project or after-school club in your school get in touch here
