Video content for the education sector

Professional, story-driven video content to promote, educate and inspire

Whether you’re a school, university or charity looking to promote your programmes, attract new students, or support teaching and learning—education video content is one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience, demonstrate impact, and bring learning to life.

At Neck of the Woods Films, we work with charities, schools, trusts, and education-focused organisations to produce purposeful, story-driven educational videos. From curriculum-linked content and teacher training to promotional films and explainer animations, we create videos that inform, inspire, and simplify complex ideas.

Why use video in education?

Education video production can

Enhance understanding – Break down complex concepts into digestible, visual explanations.

Support different learning styles – Appeal to visual, auditory, and self-paced learners.

Expand reach – Share lessons with remote learners or across multiple sites.

Save time – Reduce repeated delivery of the same information.

Increase engagement – Real voices and stories connect better than static materials.

  • We worked with Neck of the Woods to create a new, signature video for our charity and also social cuts from this. They were an absolute pleasure to work with from the very start and their professionalism and passion ensured that the end results were brilliant.

    Future First

  • We worked with Neck of the Woods to produce a chemical engineering facility tour video, and the output was awesome. Really enjoyed exploring new ideas and storytelling angles that we had not considered. Their pitch definitely stood out, and we are so glad that we took a chance.

    NotW are an amazing bunch of people to work with. Every one of them has their own skills that complement each other, which is fascinating to watch unfold. Really enjoyed their collaborative energy and quick turnaround times. The detail and thought put into their work is very commendable. They are personable yet professional, and I thoroughly appreciate that they do their best to understand a project before jumping into it. I look forward to working with them again!

    Sarah Sofian, Marketing Coordinator – Faculty Marketing

  • It has been brilliant working with the team at NOTW Films. They are great at listening and helping us to bring the team's ideas to life. They are very fast workers, very adaptable, always courteous, and the end product is great.

    Humanities Department, University of Southampton

  • We are delighted with our animation! The content and tone are just right and somehow the animation really makes you focus on the words because it supports and illustrates them so well. You have been a delight to work with and we really appreciate the time and attention to detail you have given both our deliberations and the animation. Thanks you so much to the whole team!

    Artswork

  • Simply put - they are the best supplier I have ever dealt with. Their professionalism, alongside their naturally infectious personalities made our projects run smoothly and in a really relaxed atmosphere. They really understood the brief too, went away and researched any gaps in their knowledge, and came back with a solution that fitted seamlessly into our branding and messaging. They were excellent with our students and staff - making them at home with a camera in their face is not an easy thing to do, but they work in such a way that everyone involved feels at ease.

    The Abbey

  • I could not recommend Neck of the Woods Films enough! Craig, Tom and Emma are an exceptional team who have been a pleasure to work with. From start to finish they acted with an absolute, unrivalled passion to produce the best promotional film for us. Their professionalism and eye for detail have been second to none and we could not have been happier with the finished product.
