Teachers are a creative bunch and many of you are involved with literacy, from primary Sats to A-level English and media studies. An insider’s advice on how to turn an idea into a film or TV script could neatly bring together the personal and the professional sides of your life.

EastEnders lead scriptwriter Tony Jordan is hosting a one-day seminar in London’s Covent Garden next Saturday, May 14, and TES readers can apply for a discounted place. Jordan, who is also the creator and writer of Hustle, will discuss how to create characters, moving an idea from page to screen, how to present ideas in contemporary drama and where to send them. Get Creative Consultants are offering a 20 per cent discount (normal price pound;150, readers pay pound;120) for this inspirational day at The Hospital, London’s new centre for the creative industry in Covent Garden.

Call 0208 962 2169 by Tuesday May 10 quoting TES offer.
