Groups from Steyning Grammar School, Bohunt Liphook, and The Costello School in Basingstoke were welcomed to the Worthing school to work together on projects using iPads to produce high-quality videos.
Ben Carter, assistant headteacher, said: “The iPad Legacy Day was a great opportunity for students across Bohunt Education Trust to learn new skills in video production using the iPad.

“It also has to be noted that students showed great resilience in carrying out their projects as they braved the storms on the south coast.”
Mr Carter led the programme and Kane Chapman, digital learning lead, ran a number of hands-on sessions, covering key filming fundamentals like scene setting, good sound and lighting, using green screen and editing footage.
Student digital leaders, the school’s young experts in film editing and digital media from years eight to ten, also led some of the sessions.

Despite storms on the day, the students were able to film different scenarios outside, such as interviews, and had the opportunity to work with green screens in the drama studio.
Ben Williams, year-eight digital leader, said: “I really like being a digital leader and I’m really pleased we could show students from other schools what we do. I really enjoyed helping students create green screen movies and edit them so they look really professional.”
