Synopsis

Adapted from the classic children’s novel by Edith Nesbit, The Railway Children is set in 1904, when three children from London move to the countryside after their father is falsely imprisoned. Faced with a change in lifestyle in rural Yorkshire, they find comfort in watching the trains go by. As they make friends in the community, they learn valuable lessons about dignity, bravery and resourcefulness. With an optimism that proves infectious, they never give up hope of freeing their father.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
