We offer education settings who are working towards, or currently hold an Artsmark Award, with the following opportunities:
- For Key Stage 1: one off after school creative writing work shops for key stage 2 for between £150 and £200 per workshop
- For Key Stage 2: regular after school creative writing workshops for up to 22 children, for between £60 and £80 per term
Our workshops have the following links to the English national curriculum:
Pupils [through our workshops] understand the skills, processes that are essential for writing: that is thinking out loud to explore and collect their ideas, drafting, and re-reading to check their meaning is clear, including doing so as the writing develops.
Our workshops have the following learning outcomes:
- writing narratives about personal experiences and those of others (real and fictional)
- discussing and recording ideas
- noting and developing initial ideas, drawing on reading and research where necessary
- using other similar writing as models for their own
- assessing the effectiveness of their own and others’ writing.
