๐ International School Poetry Workshops for KS1 & KS2
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 international primary schools around the world, delivering creative sessions that build confidence, imagination and language skills.
Whether you want a visiting poet for international schools, a one-day creative writing celebration, or online poetry workshops for schools in different time zones, I can help bring poetry to life for your pupils.
My poetry days make writing joyful, energetic and inspiring โ for every child. Contact me here for more information.
