Has your school ever been filmed?

[Arran]

Has your school ever been filmed by a TV company for a news report or a documentary, or by an independent media company to create an educational video?

Re: Has your school ever been filmed?

I don't think any of my schools have (at least while I was there) but my college did for a news report, I even managed to get the back of my head on TV!

Our primary school in Hesketh Bank Lancashire was filmed early 70's. Something to do with school dinners which were delivered by van 'meals on wheels' style. 'Meals on wheels' is a term relating to meals delivered to the elderly by local volunteers

My old infants school, Alaw, was filmed in 1949. 10 years after it was opened. The film can be viewed on the BFI site. It is called "Way of Life." I didn't attend there until 1970. Even so, many scenes in the film I recognise. They had hardly changed in the intervening years. Strange to think, some of the children there, could have been the parents of some of the children I went to school with. The headmistress filmed, was still there in the 1960s. She was the headmistress when one of the depot inspectors, where I work, was a pupil there. Small world.......

News report, no idea what it was, mid 70's. Camera crew turned up at lunchtime and filmed from outer gate, we hung around the inner gate. That night we were on the local news. Think it was just stock film for an education story.

Re: Has your school ever been filmed?

Back in the day a film crew turned up at Nechells Green Primary School to get some filling shots to be used as part of the intro for a new TV prog called "John Craven's Newsround".
We were allowed an extra 10 minutes playground time during which we were instructed to run around like children in a playground.

I must say that I followed directions to a tee (I'm a natural, Dahling... ) but, due to the lack of video recorders at that time, I never quite managed to catch a glimpse of myself on the box although a brief microsecond clip of the playground mayhem was used in the intro for all editions of the show.

I must be owed thousands in repeat fees by now.

I'd love to see my 'orrible ole School get knocked down. Actually I'd offer to help.

To the case in point I remember us being filmed in the early 70's for some cricket documentary or some such.

No not my first Secondary School, but I believe my 2nd one was filmed for a music performance (though that was before my time)

Me too I'd sure have paid to see my first Secondary School being knocked down - even if I may have got a bit watery eyed!! Sadly though it has already happened and I missed out on it (in both ways)!!
