Management Development and Mentoring

A character building 2 day expedition, practicing navigation and developing fitness

As part of the A Level programme, we are offering the Media & Creative learners the opportunity to visit Harry Potter Studios in Watford, London.

The students can immerse themselves in the spellbinding world of Harry Potter on this trip to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and see the process of Hollywood style feature film production. Students will be able to observe the original sets and props used in the series, getting on the Hogwarts express train on Platform 9 ¾ and waver through Diagon Alley; ride a broomstick like the cast in a fantastic greenscreen film experience and uncover the behind-the-scenes secrets of the movies’ on-screen wizardry.

As a surprise extra this year, the students will get an exclusive filmmaking lesson from the studio at 2:30pm to experience the stages of Hollywood filmmaking on what it takes to work in the creative industry.
