Learning at the Mediatheque
Bring your students to enjoy a morning exploring the vast BFI National Archive. Whatever subject you teach, you are bound to find some fantastic material among moving image treasures from 1895 to the present to stimulate and enliven your students' interest.
The Mediatheque at BFI Southbank is available for school use between 10:00 and 13:00, Tuesdays to Fridays during term time. A free session, for an average class size, of up to two hours, includes a brief introduction. A selection of free learning resources to support your students' Mediatheque experience is available below. A facilitated session, with an introduction by a curator around a specific theme (for Key Stage 4-5), or with a special introduction for younger students (Years 4-9) can be organised for a fee. Please call 020 7849 4481 for enquiries and to make a group booking.
