North Lanarkshire Council’s LensHeads project, an intensive introduction to film-making which started in 2003 as a fun class mainly for pupils of Bellshill Academy. It has since grown to a point where 50 to 60 pupils aged 15 to 18 make four short films over a year, with help from professional film-makers.

The course now offers Scottish Qualifications Authority certification, and there are animation, sound and make-up offshoots. See the TESS article here.
