We received some fantastic parent suggestions about compiling lists of great family film viewing with the idea of devoting time for families to relax and learn together via film. As we are all locked down, we can relive or start the tradition of family viewing nights!
We recognise that not all families have access to all viewing platforms, so below you will find films suitable for family film viewing nights that can be accessed via each platform. Some films will be more suitable for Junior School students and others for Senior School students.
