I was having a look at the Charles Darwin School in Biggin Hill's website and I noticed that they had a very nice school promotional video which truly shows the large amount of creativity that happens in their school (they are also an arts college). I really liked the feel of their website.

I really liked this video, looks like a very artistic school, the quote at the top of the page is really inspirational, i think it would be really cool if we had a promotional video for tallis, (if we dont have one already)

i think it would be a great way to inspire and connect with people around the schools community

I think it would be a good idea for the group to think of the different ways that we might use new media to share our vision of developing creativity at Thomas Tallis. Films are a great way of sharing, and can certainly have an impact on large groups of people very quickly. My concern is that although films leave an impression and raise awareness sometimes that impact dissipates quite quickly. I think we need to find a way of sharing and involving - maybe a film that is part of a coherent range of events that get people engaged, commenting, responding, discussing, questioning, agreeing ...
