Students within Special Schools
HLUK advises that the emotional and cognitive content of the films is likely to be challenging for students attending special schools, particularly those students with learning difficulties and/or autism. Teachers from Special Schools are strongly recommended to view the films in full prior to screening it for their students.
Prior to watching we ask that you fill out a short form so that we can understand who will be viewing the film on this occasion.
Please tell us what you think about the films
After screening, please give us your feedback by answering 2 quick questions about the film. These will be in an email you will receive.
Or if you can spare 5 to 10 minutes for the full teachers’ online evaluation this will be very helpful. Please complete an evaluation once, regardless of how many times you show each film.
Please ask your students to tell us what they thought on an anonymous online evaluation.
To make this quick and easy for you, your unique link will be sent to you by email as soon as you start screening the film. Please copy, paste and send this link to your students as soon as possible after screening. Thank you!
This anonymous online Student Evaluation takes just a few minutes. HLUK will only know which school each student is from, the film they have seen and their age-group. We do not collect any personal information about each student, and we will not have a record of their email address. Teachers can preview the Student Evaluation Questions.
