There are countless depictions of schools and teaching in the movies. In each episode of Film Schools: what we learn when cinema goes to school – a special Tes Scotland Podcast series for the summer – we speak to a teacher about a memorable cinematic depiction of a school and its staff. We look at what it gets right and wrong about teachers and schools – and whether any of the teaching approaches on display are remotely applicable in a real-life classroom.

In our first episode, secondary headteacher John Rutter casts a sceptical eye over the pros and cons of working in the most famous wizarding school of them all: Hogwarts.
