FILM CLUB Parental Consent Form
 FILM CLUB
Parental Consent Form
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are delighted to inform you that we are now running a FILMCLUB in our school. It will be a chance for your child to experience a variety of films in a safe, happy and structured setting.
What is FILMCLUB?
Our FILMCLUB aims to make a wide range of films available to young people, which challenge, unite, educate, amaze and inspire. Your child will have the opportunity to explore the wonderful world of film and use the FILMCLUB website www.filmclub.org to search for the films they want to watch, submit reviews and enter exciting competitions.
FILMCLUB is a government-funded school activity and as part of their work, they sometimes film the clubs, interview the students and publish video material on their website. Occasionally, there may be out of organisation film crews filming or local/national press taking photographs. Please give your permission below in the event that this may happen.
Normally we will show films that are suitable for your child’s age. However, from time to time we may show a higher certification than your child’s age group, that we deem suitable and appropriate, (e.g. a 12A rating). Film classifications are explained below. For more details, visit the website www.bbfc.co.uk.
Film Classifications:
U Suitable for audiences aged four years and over. U films should be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror.
PG Parental Guidance: general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children.
12A Suitable for 12 years and over, responsibility for allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult. 15 Suitable only for 15 years and over.
