You Already Have What It Takes
Theatre teacher? You know storytelling, character work, and how to get a shy Year 7 to come alive. That is screen acting - just calibrated for the lens. Screen professional? You've lived it on set. You don't need a PGCE to teach what you already do for a living.
Your skills translate. The guidance we provide fills any gaps. The full syllabus, resources, and assessment criteria are already done - you just teach.
EXAMPLE OF A SCREEN ACTING CLASSPLAN
Built by us. Exclusively for you. We don't outsource our class plans - we build them and we add fresh content regularly.
Turn your classroom into a film studio. A smartphone and a screen are all you need to unlock a completely new way to teach performance.
Structured progression, not random lessons. Our class plans are rooted in our graded syllabus and specifically tailored to the age of the room.
We provide the class plans to get you started. Free when you register.
Stop Hitting The Grade Wall
Your talented 13-year-old has smashed Grade 5 but isn't emotionally ready for Gold Medal texts. Now what?
Don't lose them. Pivot them sideways into Screen Acting or Filmmaking. They master technical rigour - hitting marks, framing shots, calling the shots - while their emotional maturity catches up.
It's the ultimate lateral move. Keep them progressing.

Total Freedom. Zero Admin Headaches.
No Minimum learners, No Travel. Forget driving to exam centres or panicking about minimum candidate numbers. Whether you have 3 students at one school or 30 across five, our system adapts to your intake.
Assessment on Your Schedule. Upload performance files securely or book a live video exam slot. Do it when your students are ready, not when an external calendar dictates. No extra fees, no rigid dates.
Manage Multiple Sites in One Place. Teaching across different schools? Manage every student from a single (Centre) dashboard. Invite your staff to view specific groups without giving them full admin access.
Screen Acting
Add a modern pathway alongside theatre, we supply ready-to-use resources for free, Ofqual-recognised grades that come with UCAS points included.
No special equipment. No prior film experience. Built for busy schools.
Did you know? Film subjects boost retention & draw a new audience.
Stable Income.
Both of you: Predictable earnings in a fledgling market. Early adopters will own the space.
Theatre teachers: Retention is revenue. When students can pivot from stage to screen, they stay enrolled longer. More terms = more stability.
Screen professionals: Be your own boss. Teach around shoots, auditions, and life. Build flexible income on your schedule - no begging for gigs, no waiting for callbacks.

Schools Need Media Literacy. With MN Awards You Can Teach It.
Students are online 35 hours a week. Half can't spot misinformation.
When students act for camera and create their own content, they see how easily performance and editing shape perception. They learn what's behind the screen - and start questioning what they watch.
This is your way in.
EXAMPLE SCRIPT FROM MN's SCRIPT BANK
Full syllabus and teaching resources ready to go - including our extensive script bank, (see example), with age-appropriate material for every grade
Scripts inspired by films students know and love - they get to step into the kinds of roles they see on the big screen
Already peripatetic? You've got compliance covered - but you need the content, syllabus, and pitch angles to sell something new.
Coming from screen work? Safeguarding, DBS checks, pitching to schools - it's intimidating when you're used to sets, not staff rooms. We guide you through it all. (DBS available at small cost if needed.)
