Why Powerful Video & Podcasts Matter for Education
Education organisations need content that informs, inspires, and motivates. At Preston Street Films, we produce videos and podcasts for the education sector that connect with students, staff, and stakeholders.
With experience producing content for high-profile clients including the BBC, we know how to balance storytelling, engagement, and professionalism to ensure your message resonates and builds credibility
Case Study: BBC Bitesize Careers
BBC Bitesize commissioned us to make a suite of animated films designed to introduce young people to a wide range of careers and apprenticeship pathways. Built for a 13 to 18 audience, the content needed to be engaging, informative and accessible while delivering clear and practical guidance.
Our approach combined strong visual storytelling with structured, easy to follow narratives. Each film was designed to simplify complex information without losing accuracy or depth.

Case Study: BBC Bitesize Virtual Options Evening
Each year, Year 9 students across the UK face the important decision of choosing which subjects to carry forward to their final exams. To help pupils with this process, BBC Bitesize commissioned us to create a series of videos showcasing some of the most popular subjects taught in schools in Scotland and Wales.
The videos feature subject teachers explaining what each course involves, along with insights from pupils sharing what they enjoy about studying those subjects.
Our Approach - Collaborative and Trusted
Every institution has its own mission, voice, and audience. We start by understanding your objectives and then craft content that reflects your values and messaging, works seamlessly across digital platforms, and engages your audience effectively.
We apply the same rigorous standards that have earned the trust of the BBC to every project
Case Study: BBC Bitesize History
BBC Bitesize commissioned us to create a series of 29 short documentary films designed to support pupils studying history in Scotland. The project aimed to produce engaging, educational content tailored to the National 4/5 and Higher syllabus, making complex historical concepts accessible and memorable for students.
Each film blends original archive material, stock footage, live-action elements, and motion graphics to create a dynamic, visually cohesive series. The use of onscreen text and animated graphics highlights key terms and concepts, ensuring that the content is both engaging and highly effective as a revision resource.
