Hollywood came to Rugeley as pupils at The Hart School wrote, directed and starred in their very own short film, guided by professionals from film and television. This once-in-a-lifetime experience was the grand prize in the Creative Education Trust’s first-ever creative writing competition.

The talented winners, Anya Tregay and Benjamin Griffiths, worked with Harry Oulton, a highly respected television writer, children’s author, and creative writing tutor, and Director of Photography, Sam Bevitt.

They created the brilliant ‘One For Sorrow’, a five-minute thriller that sees distraught pupils refusing to give up hope after the disappearance of their friend. Things take a dramatic turn when a mysterious magpie appears.
