Film club at Stepaside CP School is now into its second year. Pupils in Year 6 were given the choice in September to enrol in this after-school club. Almost the whole class opted to be part of the club.

This national initiative allows the school to order films which are placed onto a wish list by its own pupils. At Stepaside, the club runs fortnightly with the screening of the chosen film and then pupils are encouraged to write reviews on the 'Into Film' website. There are also opportunities for free cinema screenings and film-making workshops at school.

Mrs. Williams, film club organiser at the school, said: "We have been able to watch and review a wide variety of films, including some that young people would not normally get to see. We have tried to include different genres and also films in different languages. This club gives the youngsters opportunities to widen their viewing habits and gives them a purpose and an audience for their writing."

Mr. Harries, headteacher, added: "The film club is a very worthwhile after-school club and we are very grateful to Mrs. Williams for running it. At Stepaside CP School, we are currently running many after-school clubs, including ukelele, fitness, football, science, drama, tag rugby and netball."
