About our coaches

Questions

Who is Creative Writing for?

Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Prompts and reading are chosen to suit the group's reading level. Adult classes are arranged on request.

How is progress measured?

Coaches assess ideas, structure, language and revision against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.

Where does it run?

At partner schools, academies and communities. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what runs near you.

Is this the same as school English?

No. It focuses on creative forms such as stories and poems, and on the writer's own ideas and voice.
