One-off workshops
Standalone workshops for whole classes or small groups. These can be tailored to slots lasting between 50 mins - 2 hours. A standalone workshop would work well as part of a curriculum enrichment day. Students would read poems from a variety of poets and use these to inspire their own writing in a fun and supportive atmosphere.

Poetry Clubs
Poetry Club at my school is the best hour of my week. I have limited availability for weekly or fortnightly 1 hour after school sessions which would run in half-term or term blocks. Students would write a poem in each session and produce an anthology at the end of the term.

SEMH intervention - poetry for wellbeing
With so many young people now struggling with their mental health, poetry can be a positive force for wellbeing. I can deliver small group sessions designed to boost students’ self-esteem and help them express their feelings in a safe space. I have extensive experience of making these sessions accessible across the ability range and for students with all types of SEND.
