We love the power of words, so we've got a whole range of enjoyable and engaging Poetry workshops - for pupils of all ages to enjoy. Our workshops include in-person sessions, as well as live streamed workshops beamed straight into your classroom.

Longer workshops will also see pupils gaining experience in presentation skills as we support them in exploring the most effective ways to deliver their poems vocally. We can also provide a Poetry assembly to kick-start your poetry day in school! Our poetry workshops are available throughout the school year - and can be adapted to suit any theme or text, connecting literacy right across the curriculum. 

National Poetry Day is the annual mass celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages all to enjoy, discover and share poetry. Year on year, our National Poetry Day programmes prove popular and successful right across the country. Our workshops are also available all year round! 

Remember - every poem has to start somewhere. So start yours now – and get in touch today!

“The girls at Glendower LOVED the workshops! - they enjoyed the workshops immensely and thought the facilitator was fantastic! - they gained confidence around poetry, in addition to understanding the freedom attached to the concept of creating their own poem. We can’t wait to have you back!" Glendower Prep School

“I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for your incredible delivery of National Poetry Day workshops. Your passion for poetry was clear, and every single one of the teachers spoke highly of you and your sessions. Similarly, the children were buzzing with excitement- I have received messages from parents about pupils’ enjoyment as well. It was a great day, and I look forward to your next visit." Thomson House School

“A huge thank you and reiterate how much we all enjoyed today! You were so inspirational and enthusiastic and the girls (and staff) absolutely loved the workshops. I am so impressed by the poems that the girls created and can’t thank you enough for teaching them the importance of Black History - I am the Diversity and Inclusion lead and so it was just music to my ears!" Surbiton High School

“The students really loved Jo's enthusiasm and passion for poetry and really enjoyed performing the poetry, which was something we wanted them to focus on during our Book Week. She was very funny and comedic with the children and all year groups engaged well with her approach. The staff were very complimentary about her skills and presence in the workshop and have asked for her to be booked again in the future. We can't rate her highly enough!" Botwell House Catholic Primary School 

 "The Year 2s were absolutely enthralled by the workshop! Jackson was amazing at catching and maintaining the attention of children with a variety of needs and encouraging within them a true love of words. All children, no matter their ability, were able to gain something from the workshop. Whether that be how to use their bodies to create an image, how to develop our small ideas into a bigger final piece or how to perform poems to a rhythm. To see all the children working together using different creative methods was lovely to see and their pride upon receiving their own illustrated poem the next day was a joy to see." Soundscape Poetry, Oldfield Primary School
