Schools

Signals is an award-winning organisation with many years experience of delivering bespoke creative digital education projects and workshops from KS2 to KS4.

Having worked extensively in schools, we create fun and engaging bespoke programmes to meet pupils’ needs. Our creative digital learning projects are often cross-curricular, using film, animation or video game making to focus on topics like history, literacy, maths or science. We educate and inspire students to become creators rather than just consumers, increasing their understanding of and participation in digital art (filmmaking, animation and video games).

 

We work with all ages and abilities, from primary schools through to students in higher education and professional artists and creators. We are experts in working with a diverse range of communities and those with protected characteristics. Digital art can spark debate, increase engagement and motivate participants. Get in touch today to find out more about what we can offer your school.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

We can provide bespoke tuition, support INSET training and Continuing Professional Development for teachers, youth workers and artists. We regularly work in schools and understand some of the issues that teachers face in keeping up to date with new software, equipment and methods. We provide training in production, help to develop digital innovation and share best practice. Please get in touch to find out more.

PSHE through Animation

Over eight weeks, Signals collaborated with Cressing Primary School to create write and animate a story all about transitioning from primary to secondary school. This film explores the themes that arose from those workshops, through the story of our little acorns; Pin and Tan.

History through Video Game Making

Thanks to funding from The Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Signals  worked with Great Leighs primary to explored teaching maths through video game making. This cross curricular project saw students design and code video games based on greek mythology, helping to embellish existing school projects.
