There is no age barrier to attending film club at Lyndon. Films are selected so all in our 11-16 year-old cohort can take part, which has been a reason for the club's ongoing success. Students join in Year 7 and continue to rise through the years, enjoying attaining status as the seasoned elders of the group. This is the first social benefit of our...
Over the years, I have witnessed many friendships that have blossomed between students who had previously not spoken two words to each other. By the time students realise they like the same types of films, they are helping each other to write reviews for the Into Film website and testing each others' film knowledge. Often, it doesn't seem to matter...
To make our club special we aim for that 'going to the movies' feeling; popcorn, trailers, seats in rows. Members help to set the room up for the screening and tidy up afterwards, all of which gives a sense of ownership (it is their club) and, in turn, increases students' confidence.

- Day of the week. Look at the competition from other school clubs and plan the day of your film club to avoid clashes. I have my film club on a Friday, which may seem like a crazy idea (as most teachers are exhausted and practically crawling to their cars by the time Friday 3pm rolls around!)
- Make it authentic. Make each screening experience as real as possible. This makes the film club fresh and exciting and also aids behaviour and screening etiquette.
How after-school film clubs encourage thinking. Film clubs provide young people with a rare opportunity to be part of something fun, creative and sociable. Sabrina Broadbent reports on an exciting initiative to give more children the chance to get involved.
