Excellent experience. Our son (aged 8) is usually unable to attend clubs as he struggles to engage but he loved this one and has asked to go back again. It gives the children such autonomy, confidence... See more

Drama club

Great drama club for my daughter. She is growing in confidence and loves the classes. Ryan is fantastic and highly recommended.

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed attending Zilo drama club! Unfortunately one child consistently spoilt her experience but that’s through no fault of Zilo.

Thanks Victoria, it's lovely to hear that your daughter has enjoyed drama this term :) We'll continue to work with the school regarding the child in question to find more effective strategies in managing his behaviour.

Great cinematic experience for children

My seven-year-old went to his first Zylo film summer school (the children make a film in a week with a premiere for parents at the end) a couple of weeks ago and loved it. The fire stars come from him (and I agree).

Ryan and the team are enthusiastic and great with all the children, of mixed ages and personalities and all the films they made were fun, involved a lot of skill (and hard work from the adult team!).

My son had a great week and is already talking about what he wants to do next year (and our younger children will definitely join him when they're old enough!). Great experience. Long may it continue!

A special course that leaves a lasting impression.

Once again, our kids had a great experience with Zylo. Fun, supportive tutors, lots of creativity and a lovely celebration of what the kids have achieved at the final premiere. It's a really special course that leaves a lasting impression. I strongly encourage you to give it a go - you are in safe hands with Ryan and his team.

A wonderful experience

This is the second review I’ve given. My son Piers attended the Zylo after-school drama club when he was 7 years old, and attended his first film school when he was 8. He loved film school so much that he has been attended about twice a year ever since. Piers has a passion for acting and film production, both of which has been nurtured by the staff at Zylo. He is now 14 and attended his last film school this week, which given how important it was in his life, was an emotional experience! As a Zylo leaver he was given an amalgamation of all the films he has made in the 6 years he has been attending! I cannot thank the staff enough for the joy they have given my son, and how valued they made him feel.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Sophie. It's been a joy watching Piers grow and develop in confidence and talent over the past several years. We hope that he'll be tempted to return and help out in the future and wish him all the very best in his continued pursuit of success in the performing arts!

Best Holiday Club You’ll Ever Find…

If you’re looking for a holiday club that your children will be desperate to attend every day, you’ve found it. There aren’t enough stars for the rating I’d like to give Zylo Film School.

My children, aged 7 and 9 were nervous (and a bit miffed!) about going to a ‘holiday club’ but they were absolutely hooked by the end of the first day and chatted excitedly about it all the way home.

Such a wonderful, engaging activity for children of all ages and acting abilities to get their teeth stuck into. It was just the most productive and exciting way for my kids to spend a week when I was at work.

I was bowled over by the professional standard of the work they produced in just one week and I was so proud of them when I watched their work at the ‘Premier’ on Sunday.

‘Do you know it’s on at a Easter as well, mum?’ my son told me. ‘Can we go at Easter AND summer next year?’

That says it all.

THANK you, Ryan and team! :-)

100% recommended

My son’s second summer at film school and he loved it. I can’t praise Ryan and his crew highly enough for their unfailing good humour, patience, creativity and stupendous effort to make film school fabulous for all the kids. The film premiere is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the week together. There are few things that my son takes seriously but still enjoys. There are also few people who are willing to welcome him back, given his additional needs. Thank you!

Outstanding!! Five-star experience.

Outstanding! What can we say? After five years of our children attending this brilliant film school, we are sad to say goodbye as our children are now too old to attend. Ryan and his team do an incredible job at creating exciting, fun, creative, and professional films with their students. We have experience of three other film schools and nothing compares to Zylo! The finale of seeing the films in a real cinema environment creates amazing memories and gives the kids so much confidence. Bravo! Wishing the whole Zylo team much continued success for the future with this exceptional experience. THANK YOU for everything!
