Why teachers choose it
Why Teachers Love Complete Poetry Year
Saves Teachers Time
Live sessions and ready-to-use resources cut the time your team spends planning and preparing poetry lessons.
Children Love It
Fun, fast-paced and engaging workshops that transform children into confident writers and performers.
Incredible Value
One annual membership covers six live workshops, a teacher CPD session and twelve months of classroom resources. New teacher resources are constantly being added.
“I spent eight years teaching in primary schools before becoming a full-time children’s poet, so I know exactly what a busy school day is like. That’s why I make everything as easy as possible. I turn up live on Zoom, get children laughing, performing and writing poetry together, even the reluctant writers, and afterwards you have all the resources you need to keep the enthusiasm going. One booking. One invoice. Job done.”
Ian Bland, children’s poet and former primary teacher
