Benefits for Children
Writing is a powerful form of self-expression, especially for children. It encourages self-reflection and nurtures a genuine love for stories and the arts. Creative writing also strengthens reasoning and processing skills, making its benefits extend beyond English.
Our carefully designed creative writing activities aim to improve literacy while helping children to:
Develop their creative writing skills
Build confidence in expressing themselves through writing
Explore and convey emotions through words
Foster a genuine love of literacy, independent of tests and exams
Discover that writing can be fun!
How we do it
We partner with schools and organisations all over the world to instil and develop a genuine love of writing in children, which we hope will stay with them for life. We carefully design workshop materials and lesson plans based on themes that would engage and intrigue children. We incorporate a range of learning styles to keep the children engaged. We can equip teachers. We will provide comprehensive training to your staff. This includes access to our detailed workshop materials, instructional videos, and upskilling sessions. Our goal is to empower educators to seamlessly integrate these creative writing sessions into their literacy curriculum.

Damisi Johnson
Damisi is a writer and poet and has published several pieces of poetry and short stories in literary magazines.
After completing the writing for children's course at Faber & Faber in 2015, Damisi decided to start Writing Champions. In designing the syllabus, she brought her creative writing expertise, consulted with English teachers and also drew on her own personal experience of trying to encourage her daughter, who was a reluctant writer, to enjoy writing for pleasure. In her spare time, when she is not busy chasing after her children, she loves to travel and can often be found hiding somewhere with a book.

We have been using Writing Champions as an after school club this half term and are extremely impressed. The children are really enjoying the club and the bubbling noise of excitement can be heard across the school! It is lovely to see so many children engaged in creative writing. We will definitely be using Writing Champions in the future.

Taylor absolutely loves to write, especially short stories and your classes have helped enhance her vocabulary and creativity. Your classes have given her the confidence to share her short stories with family and friends, whereas before she felt her work wasn’t good enough. We all agree her expression, use of similes and content have greatly improved and it is a pleasure to read her work.

As a parent I have been really impressed by the careful planning and structured approach taken to the sessions. An outline of what will be covered in class is shared with parents at the beginning of term which is very helpful. The tutors are well engaged and always at hand to provide feedback at the end of the sessions. I also liked the certificate (or bookmark!) of achievement given to the children at the end of the term which makes them proud of the work they have done and the new skills learnt.

My son was a reluctant writer and reluctant reader before attending the creative writing sessions. After a term at Writing Champions, I have seen his interest in reading improve. He has even spontaneously picked up a pen and paper to write his own stories!

My child really enjoys Writing Champions. She comes home enthusiastic about the sessions and having produced some wonderfully imaginative stories in various styles. I can really see the progress she is making and confidence growing. I also appreciate the easy and efficient online booking system and the clear communications from Writing Champions.

Writing Champions have been running a creative writing club at our school now for two terms and it has been a very positive experience for all involved. The club is well organised and run by engaging staff members. The school has not had to be involved with any of the club admin and can fully rely on the team to ensure that it runs smoothly each week. The children who have attended so far have been excited about attending the club and full of praise for Miles who runs our sessions. It has been lovely to see some of our less confident writers have the opportunity to express themselves through their creative writing and expand upon their own ideas week by week.

I really liked the sessions. The teacher was nice and supportive and was one of the best I ever had. The lessons were fun and imaginative. One of the best clubs I've ever been to.
