PUPILS at a Blanche Neville School for Deaf Children showed their number was up with a £4,770 grant to make films.

The money from the Jack Petchey Foundation has been given to educational charity The Film and Video Workshop to provide animation projects in schools including Blanche Neville on North Hill, Highgate.

Geoff Russell-Jones, awards officer for the foundation, which helps develop the potential of young people aged 11-25, described the workshop as an exciting project that would benefit many young people.

Each school will create several short animations, including a soundtrack, to be put on video.

Sarah Vaci, a workshop tutor, said the project helped pupils who find it hard to communicate "use their imagination in an unselfconscious manner".
