Company Description
Beyond Grades is dedicated to capturing the full story of a child’s growth, far beyond what can be shown in exam results or certificates.
The company partners with schools and families to document the personal journeys, character, and everyday moments that shape a child’s development over many years.
The team believes that the years a child spends becoming who they are deserve to be remembered and kept with care.
Their work aims to ensure that these formative stories are told properly and remain accessible for as long as they are needed.
Role Description
This is a contract (may extend it to full time), on-site Freelance Videographer role based in West Yorkshire.
The Freelance Videographer will collaborate with schools and families to plan, shoot, and produce documentary-style video content that authentically reflects children’s experiences and school communities.
