More about the National Saturday Club
Across the UK, the National Saturday Club gives 13–16-year-olds the opportunity to study subjects they love for free at their local university, college or cultural institution. Saturday Clubs are currently offered in six subjects: Art&Design, Craft&Making, Fashion&Business, Film&Screen, Performance&Theatre, Science&Engineering, Society&Change and Writing&Talking.

With a particular focus on engaging young people from underrepresented communities, the National Saturday Club’s established model of extracurricular education has proven impact. The programme offers a transformational opportunity to build skills, develop confidence and discover pathways to further study and future careers.

Club members attend weekly Saturday classes led by expert tutors in their local community, and take part in national events throughout the year including visits to leading cultural institutions, Masterclasses with industry, a Summer Show exhibition of all Club members’ work at London’s prestigious Somerset House, and a Graduation Ceremony. A remarkable national network of further education, higher education, the cultural sector and industry works together in partnership to deliver these enriching extracurricular activities.

The Film&Screen Saturday Club will run with the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding.
