UP TO 100 LESSONS OF FILMS & TEACHING RESOURCES
Covering core aspects of A level specifications, now available to be streamed as a whole.
We offer thirty eight films covering core aspects of A level specifications, now available to be streamed as a whole. Sumptuously made, to deliver exactly what the student needs, along with ‘for and against’ arguments, the films are infinitely adaptable. Although designed for A level, they are not too high-brow to use lower down the school or as part of a wider curriculum. Your PSHE coordinator will love them too!

Free during the Covid-19 crisis
3 month members license which can be used by students at home
As teachers ourselves we’re hugely aware of the pressure we’re all under at the moment from Covid-19. Here on our site, we have this bank of bespoke RS films for A level that have long been recognised as resources of exceptional quality. We’ve taken the decision to make these free to everyone during this crisis so that pupils can access the films from home and watch them as a way of consolidating their virtual learning under your direction.
We’re saying initially that free membership is until June 2020 but we will see how the crisis progresses. At this time all we can do is try to support you in the only way we can.
I hope this helps in some small way with your planning and delivering of A level Religious Studies.
All best wishes,
Joe and Nicky
