MN Awards

We hear this from Drama teachers all the time:
"I'd love to introduce something like this, but I simply don't have the time to build it all from scratch."

And we completely understand.

Between planning, teaching, productions, rehearsals, marking, and everything else that comes with running a Drama department, time is precious.

That's why we've built our Screen Acting & Filmmaking teacher resources to be as ready-to-go as possible. Everything you need is already there:
✅ Lesson plans
✅ Scripts
✅ Classroom activities
✅ Assessment guidance
✅ Teacher support

If you'd love to offer your students something new, without the hours of prep, it's free to register a Teacher Profile today and see everything that's waiting for you.

MN Awards started with talent agency roots, representing actors across Netflix, BBC, Amazon Prime and Olivier Award-winning theatre. We spent 10+ years teaching screen acting in schools and academies across the UK before building what we couldn't find anywhere else at the time: Ofqual-recognised qualifications for young people designed exclusively for Film & TV.

FilmworQ gives drama teachers everything they need to deliver screen acting and filmmaking qualifications from day one. Fully resourced. Remote exam submission. No expensive equipment: just a phone, a tripod, and a quiet space.

Grades 1–8 | UCAS points at Level 3 | £38–£83 per grade

Drama doesn't stay in the drama studio.

Every skill your students build in your department (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, confidence) powers every other subject on the timetable.

The problem? Most decision makers in schools don't see it yet.

When you add screen to your provision, the transferable impact becomes undeniable.

And the students who never quite found their place on stage? They pick up a camera and lead the room.

Something we keep hearing from schools: children who've made their own films become noticeably sharper at reading the content they see online.

It makes sense. When you've chosen a camera angle, edited a sequence, or scripted a segment, you stop taking everything at face value. You start noticing that someone made choices and that changes how you respond to what you scroll past every day.

Our filmmaking, stop-motion, and TV presenting after school clubs run in schools across the South East. We bring the kit, the staff, and the safeguarding compliance. Your school just needs to provide a classroom.

We're booking for September now and running free tasters before the summer holidays.

Drop us a message or visit www.mnawards.co.uk to find out more.

We keep hearing the same thing from drama teachers: "I'd love to teach filmmaking but we don't have the equipment."

You don't need fancy kit. A phone, tablet or basic camcorder, a quiet space, and a teacher who understands storytelling - that's a filmmaking classroom.

Our new filmmaking syllabus was built for exactly this. Structured lesson plans, full resources, graded progression. You deliver it your way, students submit their films. No expensive film studio required.

We wrote about why the barrier to filmmaking in schools isn't budget - it's assumption. Full article here:
