Creative Writing After-School Clubs for Key Stage 2
As teachers ourselves, we know how limited time there is to plan an after-school club. Our creative writing clubs are created for you, with high quality PowerPoints and supporting resources. No planning is required! Each club is 5 or 10 sessions long and each lesson is designed to take 1 hour. They are ideal clubs to run throughout a school half or full term.
Schools have the flexibility to choose when to run the club, how many children will participate and how much they will charge parents.
Literacy Intervention Writing Programme
In November 2021, the Education Endowment Foundation published its report on Improving Literacy in Key Stage 2. One of the seven key recommendations is for schools to ‘Use high quality structured interventions to help pupils who are struggling with their literacy’.
For those children who have been identified as needing further support with writing, we offer a 5 or 10-week intervention programme, which includes all the resources needed to make a significant impact on children’s writing skills.
11+ Interview Preparation Course
For primary schools who support their students to prepare for the 11+ examinations, we offer an 11+ Interview Preparation Course for in-house teachers to deliver to their students. This course has been created for teachers, with high quality PowerPoints and supporting resources. No planning is required! The course is 3 sessions long and each lesson is designed to take 1 hour.
Staff CPD On-Demand Training
Our pre-recorded CPD training sessions are created to support teachers, giving them the confidence and skills to teach effectively in the classroom. The training sessions can work perfectly during a staff meeting or INSET day. Our school training sessions are CPD accredited, awarding staff with CPD points.
Free Online Courses to Children on Free School Meals
In January 2018, the EEF published a report entitled “The Attainment Gap” summarising its key findings relating to academic attainment and economic disadvantage. Their studies showed that the “attainment gap is largest for children and young people eligible for free school meals (the best available measure of economic disadvantage) and those assessed with special educational needs”. To support children who have an economic disadvantage, we work with schools and volunteer tutors to run free online creative writing courses as after-school clubs, which children can access from their home.
Creative Writing Competition
We run a free creative writing competition once a year in February.
The competition is open to all children from ages 7-13 (Years 3-8). All children around the world can enter, but entries must be written in English.
School entries are warmly welcomed.
Creative Writing Skills (Book)
Our Creative Writing Skills book can be purchased by schools and can be used by 7-14 year olds to improve their writing skills. It is particularly helpful for Key Stage 2 children.
Imagine If: Creative Diary for Children (Book)
Our Imagine If: Creative Diary for Children can be purchased by schools and is a great way to encourage writing amongst Key Stage 2 children.
11+ Interview Skills (Book)
Our 11+ Interview Skills book can be purchased by schools and is designed to support children with 11+ interview preparation.
