Celebrating the Screenwriting Club
The Screenwriting Club has been thriving this term, giving pupils the opportunity to explore storytelling and creativity through script writing. Under the guidance of Mr Farmer, pupils have been learning the art of screenwriting, from developing characters to shaping compelling dialogue and storylines.
To inspire members, Mr Farmer devised a special competition with clear creative challenges. Pupils were tasked with writing a script using the title “The Key.” They could interpret this title literally or metaphorically, work individually or in pairs and were required to keep their script under five pages and introduce no more than three characters. A story starter template was also provided as a springboard, though pupils were free to begin entirely from scratch.
The results were outstanding, with winning scripts chosen from each year group:
Year 7: “The Mystical Garden Key” by Isaac W and Jude K
Year 8: “The Key to Freedom” by Chloe P
Year 9: “The Key” by Isla K
Congratulations to all of our winners and participants for showing such imagination and commitment. A special thank you to Mr Farmer for his enthusiasm and dedication in leading the club.
This year’s challenge promises to be just as exciting, as pupils have been given the new title “The Watch.” We look forward to seeing the creative directions our budding screenwriters will take next.
