Films for the education sector
Bespoke films for schools, academies, MATs and specialist provisions that capture your culture, energy and ethos, made by people who know education inside out.
Showreel
Fifty seconds of classrooms, labs, stages and the people who make schools special. Every shot is from films we’ve made.
Why we exist
“For two decades I’ve worked with leaders across schools, academies, MATs and SEND provisions. The same gap came up time and time again: how do you bring in more pupils, and attract the very best talent?”
Founder, TheEducationStory.co
So much of it comes down to one thing: not being able to capture your identity and tell your own story in a way that gets you seen and heard.
TheEducationStory.co was set up to fix that. We create beautiful, bespoke films for the education sector, and only the education sector.
What we do
Personalised storytelling through expert videography. We make authentic, captivating films that capture the culture, values and vision that set you apart, and that connect emotionally with the people you most want to reach.
We work exclusively in the education sector, so our team understands your world, your audiences and what matters to them.
Every film starts with strategy. We unearth what makes you distinctive, then shape emotive, purpose-driven films that inspire action.
No templates. Each project is tailored to your budget, goals, tone and timelines, so the film sounds like you and nobody else.
Our films
From full-scale promotional films to quick social cuts, everything we make is designed to work first on the screens your audiences already use.
Your headline film for the website, campaigns and events. The definitive portrait of who you are.
Help prospective families picture their child with you, before they’ve even walked through the door.
Short, scroll-stopping cuts built for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook from day one.
Silent, looping films that greet every visitor with your values.
The joy, the hugs, the envelopes. Captured and shared while the moment is still live.
Show the best teachers and support staff what it really feels like to work with you, and why they should.
Who they’re for
Choosing a school is emotional. We help them feel what makes yours the right one.
Your young people, in their own words, showing what they love about where they learn.
Stand out to highly skilled educators who have plenty of choice about where to go next.
Governors, trusts and your community, united around a story everyone can be proud of.

Safeguarding & consent
We work in schools every week, so we plan every shoot around your safeguarding policy, not the other way round.
Everyone on site holds an enhanced DBS check and follows your visitor and signing-in procedures.
We film only pupils with media consent in place, working from your lists, and a member of staff is with us throughout.
You approve every edit before anything is published, and we remove anyone you ask us to.
Raw footage is stored securely, handled in line with UK GDPR, and deleted when the project ends unless you ask us to keep it.
Questions schools ask
Most films need one or two days on site. We plan the schedule with you in advance so lessons carry on as normal.
We agree a delivery date at the start, working back from when you need it, such as an open evening or the start of admissions. You’ll see a first cut to comment on before anything is finished.
It depends on how much filming and how many edits you need. Tell us your budget and goals and we’ll suggest the best way to spend it.
Yes. Your website, social media, open events, reception screens and presentations. We supply versions sized for each.
Yes. We work with individual schools, academies, multi-academy trusts and SEND and specialist provisions, and adapt how we film to suit each setting.
Let’s talk
Virtual or in person. Whether you’re launching a campaign, refreshing your digital presence or showing your ethos to a wider audience, we’d love to hear your story.
