Documentary Film Project

This school year, the search was on for a creative filmmaker to work alongside us to support us making documentary films.

We had a great response from filmmakers and decided to invite 6 for interview.

Three pupils joined us for a very long but successful day of interviewing.


We appointed Mark Levermore to work alongside us this year and work has already started in the planning of the project.


Pupils are joining their teachers in the initial planning meetings with Mark.



The combination of all these minds working together is going to result in some creative and whacky documentary films.

Mark will be working with individual classes to plan in detail at the beginning of February.

The Big Draw

2009's Big Draw has finally arrived at Columbia School!

Pupils are invited into a magical forest world in our middle hall.

They meet forest creatures and exotic forest dwellers.

They are inspired by the sights and scents of a real forest in their school.

Pupils are able to choose the scale in which they draw, some choosing their school sketch books and others working on huge easels or screens.
