““It was clear from the outset that this was the student’s project and idea and Young Film Academy did an amazing job of guiding the team, incorporating all the great ideas from the students and us as teachers, as well as empowering the students to direct, record and manage a huge project. Some of the girls were a bit timid telling the actors where to stand and what to do, but at the end of the day there was not doubt who was in charge. That happened because of the way that YFA managed the students and encouraged them to take charge - it really is a student made film but with highly professional quality and standards. The final films are amazing, and the students and I could not be prouder of the way they show off the best parts of our Sixth Form.””

“This has significant benefits for a school: it provides an incredibly powerful, professional-level learning experience for pupils in which they design, shoot and edit their own film alongside passionate industry experts, and it has the added benefit of the end-product which is a pupil-eye’s view of the experience of your school which opens the real experience of your school to the outside world. Both are invaluable”

“ “The experience and technical know-how, channelled through the pupils, was invaluable. The results exceeded expectations of all involved””

““The process was highly collaborative and both girls and staff alike were thrilled with the outcome. The team helped facilitate an empowering experience for the girls. Thank you”

““The film we made with you at Wycombe certainly had a strong impact on prospective pupils - pretty much every pupil I interviewed had watched the film. The ‘Making Of’ was just as important as the film to me: it demonstrated what the girls were really like and that they could have a lot of fun at Wycombe””

““The guidance and support was second to none and we felt completely happy leaving everything in their and our pupils’ hands. The pupils know the school best and they took pride in being able to show it off in an open and honest way and they learnt some fantastic skills. Without a doubt we would do it all again””

““Parents have continually said how refreshing it is to have something that has not only been created by the girls, but also shows their perspective so clearly. My admissions colleagues have reported how girls have been much more engaged by marketing material that is actually aimed at them””
