Our PSHE/RSE programmes cover the UK curriculum around online safety, consent, UK laws on image sharing, VAWG, healthy relationships. Through film, drama and conversation, we make these subjects engaging and memorable, giving students the tools to challenge harmful behaviour.

Research shows that young people who take part in the arts are more likely to stay engaged in school, develop stronger communication skills, and grow into more confident adults.

Behind the scenes of post-production 🎬

Our DVSS students spent the day at Picture Shop, getting hands-on with editing and seeing how their short film comes together on screen. Guided by industry professionals, they learned how sound, colour and cut choices shape the final story

Our PSHE/RSE e-learning portal lets pupils click a question and hear the character answer on video. Learn consent, spot coercion, know how to help. KS3/KS4. https://t.co/xt1xFVKTnA #BeatIt #PSHE #Safeguarding

Our DVSS students stepped into the edit suite for a post-production masterclass with Picture Shop and watched their film Brother’s Keeper take shape on screen.

Huge thank you to the Picture Shop team for welcoming our filmmakers!

Here is a look into our e-learning portal for the PSHE/RSE Beat It programme (KS3/KS4). Film first, then interactive scenarios on healthy relationships, consent, UK law and CSAM, misogyny and VAWG.

Remember rushing to grow up? In our KS2 PSHE/RSE programme Primary Concern, students explore the film’s characters in the hotseat and reflect on being “too young” for some things while getting excited about growing up.

Last week was an exciting one for our DVSS students! 🎬
We wrapped filming on Brother’s Keeper — an original short film created with and for our Diverse Voices of Stage & Screen students, filmed at the brilliant @3millsstudios

[Diverse Voices | Performing arts in education @diversevoices]

Our ‘Beat It’ PSHE/ RSE resource and workshops covers sensitive topics surrounding misogyny, consent and sharing indecent images of children.
See clips from our short film here along with the online portal accessible for teachers who partake in the programme.

Starting secondary school can feel overwhelming. Many pupils worry about fitting in, peer pressure and relationships. In Primary Concern, our KS2 PSHE/RSE programme, characters share these fears and students explore them through our e-learning portal.

The move from primary to secondary is one of the biggest transitions children face.

Our Primary Concern workshop is designed tohelp Year 6 pupils build resilience, manage anxieties, and embrace this next chapter with a sense of readiness.

Diverse Voices has partnered with PictureShop for post-production on Brother's Keeper. DVSS students gain hands-on experience in acting, production, and storytelling, working with industry professionals to bring their ideas to life.

Acting-for-Screen in action 🎬
Led by actress Leonie Elliott (Call the Midwife, Small Island at the National Theatre), our DVSS students took their scripts from page to camera—then watched their performances back on tape for the very first time.
