- Modern Foreign Language films introduced by a native speaker for those studying MFL
- Visits and tours by local community and school groups

- Developing a Kids’ Club for younger children
The Start Programme
We are delighted that we were selected by the Princes Foundation for Children and the Arts to participate in the Start programme. This enables us to provide opportunities throughout the school year for activity with 8 partner schools working with a total of 493 pupils.

The programme is about introducing children to the arts, inspiring them to find out more, and participation in creative activity. We are working with Ravenswood and Westhaven Special schools and All Saints, Mary Elton, St Andrews, St Nicholas Chantry, St John’s and Yeo Moor Primary schools, all of whom will make 3 visits during the course of the school year.
The Curzon Youth Panel
The Curzon Youth Panel meets on a regular basis. The young people presented their views about the Curzon to the successful Lottery assessment day and have made their own documentary films about the Curzon’s refurbishment. They have developed a Film Club for their peers, for young people aged 13-19, The Reelers.
Senior Screenings
Senior Screenings take place once a month on a Wednesday afternoon at 2.00pm. We offer an introduction and a post screening discussion with complimentary refreshments after the screening. (The kiosk will be open so that you can purchase items prior to the screening.) We focus on making the cinema s accessible as possible and encourage group visits.
Saturday Morning Pictures
We are at development stage for a scheme for children and their parents to come to see films at the week end. If you are interested in being part of a parent focus group, please email education@curzon.org.uk
