What We Value Most

In the highly competitive St Albans education market, St Columba’s College wanted a film that would distinguish the school through something more meaningful than buildings and facilities.

Its greatest strength is its character: the energy of its students, the strength of its community and the values that shape everyday school life.

Together, we developed What We Value Most - a quirky, authentic film that places student voices at the centre of the story.

A Story Told by Students

Playful, confident and proud, the film follows a friendly sense of one-upmanship between students as they reveal what they value most about their school.

The conversation moves from sports fields and science laboratories to performance spaces and quieter moments of reflection. Every exchange introduces another side of the St Columba’s experience, capturing the breadth of school life without becoming a traditional tour or list of facilities.

The students’ personalities lead the narrative, creating something that feels natural, entertaining and unmistakably St Columba’s.

Character Over Convention

The creative approach allowed the school to communicate its values through the behaviour, relationships and experiences of its students.

Ambition is found in the classroom and on the sports field. Faith is reflected through community and purpose. Friendship runs throughout the film, connecting every moment with warmth and humour.

Quirky, energetic and heartfelt, What We Value Most gives prospective families an authentic glimpse into life at one of Hertfordshire’s leading independent schools - and celebrates the qualities that make St Columba’s truly distinctive.
