When Weydon Secondary School approached us to help create a film for fund-raising, we were naturally interested. Our founders had 3 children in the school when they approached us, so it felt like a great opportunity to offer our expertise and time. The school wanted to raise awareness around the significant (and growing) gap between government funding and the actual cost of a well-rounded, country-leading education, to help encourage local parents and businesses to offer more support where possible.

Along with the talented Marketing lead at Weydon, we created the idea of showcasing the many areas of support throughout the school that fell slightly outside the remit of traditional teaching, while showing off the incredible facilities at the school. The idea of the film following a crafted poem was conceived while we started gathering footage at some of the many school events.

It became apparent that to record the candid footage required, FTH would have to become regular faces at the school. Not only to allow for the AMOUNT of footage required, but also for the kids to become quite relaxed about us filming there. Regular visits to Weydon allowed us to create a bank of footage that represented the school. What followed was almost a year of insights. Glimpses into practice, teamwork, learning, engagement, excellence, messing around and focussing (kids and cameras.)
