Education
We have a long track record of working in schools and in 2019, SYFF
ran a pilot project in Clackmannanshire to showcase how film in the
classroom can improve literacy and several other markers in education.
The project was a huge success and a film and written report are
available from SYFF upon request.
SYFF tutors will work in a classroom setting to teach both the pupils
and the teachers how film can be effectively used in the classroom.
Lessons cover film analysis and work towards pupils producing their
own work using tablets and class resources.
Praise For Our Education
“The whole experience has been fantastic – not only for
the children But for my own development. I’ve always used
media and technology In the classroom but never as effectively
as I will in the future.”
- Beverley Donald, P7 teacher, Clackmannan Primary School
“ This project broke down barriers to literacy for all our
learners regardless of their abilities. They enjoyed
storytelling and film making and were amazed by what they
achieved.”
- Jill Henderson, Teacher Special Educational Needs, Lochies
School
“I have never seen my class so engaged in a project. It was also
training for me and gave me tools to use in the classroom. I
have planned my reading project in a completely different way.”
- Claire Hume, P6 Teacher, Banchory Primary School
“The whole thing was fun, the whole experience.”
- Young person, Kirkpatrick Fleming
“We watch movies entirely differently now.”
- Young person, Banchory
“I’m probably engaging more with it because I actually
know how to describe it and to understand it more than I did
before we started this project.
- Young person, Alva
