Screen Yorkshire teams up with regional colleges to build bridges into TV and Film Industries


Screen Yorkshire has launched a new group to build stronger and more proactive links between the region’s colleges and the booming TV and film sector. In a move welcomed by broadcasters based in the region, Screen Yorkshire


has established a Connected Campus for Colleges group, whose chief aim is to make the creative industries more accessible to young people from Yorkshire and Humber with a desire to enter the workforce. This new College group builds on the success of the original Connected


Campus group, which has been running for two years and now involves ten of the region’s universities, working hand—in-hand with broadcasters, independent production companies and skilled freelancers. The four founding


members of the new College group are Wakefield College, Bradford School of Art, University Centre Leeds, and York College University Centre – all of which boast a wide range of


courses related to TV and Film production. More colleges are expected to join the group from across the region in the coming months. All the colleges signed


up will receive a wide variety of boot camps and special events related to all aspects of TV and Film production, with industry professionals from a huge swathe of disciplines – from directing, producing and camera operating to make-up, costume and production management – lining up to teach masterclasses and workshops, bringing students up to date with the industry’s Sharon Barrington, York College Programme Leader, BA (Hons) Media


Make-up, Special Effects & Hair Design, says: “Screen Yorkshire has been instrumental in making Yorkshire the fastest growing region for film & TV in the UK and our students will now have access to their expert knowledge and industry networks through the Connected Campus consortium This will give them an advantage when seeking employment, developing their industry knowledge and building their confidence to network within the competitive world of television and film.”


uwww.screenyorkshire.co.uk Academy's rapid improvement highlighted


A Coventry academy’s rapid improvement across all departments, since being established in 2015 has been highlighted – with hopes that the lessons it has learnt will support other schools converting to academy status. The Romero Catholic Academy, made up of seven primary schools and one


secondary school based across Coventry, has announced its latest staff survey results which demonstrate just how far it has come in four years. The Romero Catholic Academy launched its survey in 2016 and has since


held them at the end of 2018 and 2020, asking employees about their understanding of the Academies strategy, how satisfied they are with management, staff and pay benefits, their role, teamwork, change, decision making, culture and values. Despite the latest survey being held during the Covid-19 pandemic, it


highlighted improvements across the board, including some significant positive changes. Patrick Taggart, Director of Operations at the Academy, said: “Uniting


eight separate schools to form a Multi-Academy Company comes with its challenges, but one thing we wanted to focus on from the start was staff satisfaction to help ensure we were an employer of choice. “One thing we learnt early on was that the Academy’s vision, mission and


aims were key in joining the schools together, so we ensured these were not just on posters and in marketing, but spoken about in performance management, covered at key events such as our annual staff conference and included in our strategic plan. “Going from just 63 per cent of staff agreeing or strongly agreeing that


they understand the Academy’s strategy in 2016 to almost 90 per cent at the end of 2020 is an achievement we should be proud of. “Our management styles have also developed, and whereas everyone used to have their own individual styles, school leaders are now shaped by our

vision, mission and aims. “Our next steps will be improving communication with employees across


all levels even further by implementing a new staff intranet site, as well as encouraging more staff innovation. “But we want to also use these results to support other schools making


that transition to Academy status or those who have already begun the process, sharing our knowledge of what we have learnt to support the education sector.”
