What we do

Little Lens Club and Shutter Squad offer creative photography workshops, after-school clubs and lunchtime sessions for primary schools, designed to build confidence, creativity and real-world skills through hands-on learning.

Our programmes are tailored for KS1 and KS2 pupils, supporting the National Curriculum across Art & Design, Computing and Spoken Language, while giving children a fresh, engaging way to express themselves.

A Bespoke Photography Curriculum for KS2 Pupils

Shutter Squad is our structured KS2 photography programme, designed to go beyond simple point-and-shoot.

Pupils learn how to:

  • Understand composition techniques such as the rule of thirds

  • Explore light, colour and storytelling in photography

  • Begin using manual camera settings including aperture and shutter speed

  • Analyse the work of well-known photographers and apply their techniques

  • Develop confidence in creative decision making and visual expression

Each session builds on the last, creating a clear progression that supports both creative development and critical thinking skills.

Creative Enrichment for KS1 Pupils

Little Lens Club introduces younger children to photography in a way that feels natural, playful and confidence-building.

Designed for KS1 pupils, sessions focus on:

  • Encouraging curiosity and observation

  • Exploring colour, shape and storytelling through images

  • Building confidence and independence

  • Developing early creative skills in a supportive environment

These sessions are ideal for schools looking to enhance their creative provision and offer something different to traditional clubs.

  • Lunchtime photography clubs

  • Short-term workshop series for specific year groups

  • One-off creative photography days or themed workshops

All sessions are fully planned and delivered, with equipment provided where needed.
