🌍 International School Poetry Workshops for KS1 & KS2

Online Poetry Workshops for International Schools (Any Time Zone)

Are you looking for exciting international school poetry workshops that bring English alive and inspire confident young writers?
I work with British international schools and English-medium primary schools worldwide, delivering high-energy online poetry workshops in every time zone.

My sessions build confidence, imagination and language skills, making them ideal for EAL learners, Literacy Week, World Book Day and creative writing celebrations in international schools.

Whether you need a visiting poet for international schools, a one-day creative writing celebration, or online poetry workshops tailored to your school’s schedule, I can help bring poetry to life for your pupils — wherever you are in the world.

My poetry days make writing joyful, energetic and inspiring for every child.
