Creative Writing Programmes for Schools
We partner with prep and independent schools across London, as well as a number of long-standing state school partners, to deliver high-quality creative writing clubs and workshops that develop confident, capable young writers.
Our programmes combine structure, creativity, and expert teaching from published writers, all within a calm, well-managed environment.
After-school programmes
We deliver structured, termly creative writing clubs on-site at your school.
Each programme is carefully designed to build pupils’ confidence, creativity, and technical writing skills over time.
Flexible termly programmes aligned with your school calendar
Clear progression through a cohesive scheme of work
Balance of creative development and core writing skills
Suitable for Years 2–6, with groups tailored to specific age ranges where appropriate
Sessions are thoughtfully paced and designed to support a wide range of abilities, allowing all pupils to engage meaningfully and develop their writing with confidence.
Workshops and enrichment
In addition to our termly programmes, we offer workshops and short-form enrichment sessions tailored to the needs of each school.
These can range from small-group workshops to whole-class or whole-year delivery, and are ideal for:
Enrichment days or themed learning
Supporting literacy and writing across the curriculum
Focused creative writing development
Whole-class, year-group, or whole-school sessions
All workshops are designed in collaboration with the school to ensure they align with your pupils, curriculum, and wider objectives.
Why schools work with us
Writer-led teaching
Our sessions are led by teachers who are writers themselves, combining strong academic foundations with real creative practice.
Structured and purposeful
Programmes follow carefully designed schemes of work, ensuring sessions are focused, progressive, and meaningful.
Thoughtfully designed, carefully adapted
While programmes are structured, our teaching adapts to the needs, abilities, and dynamics of each group.
Calm, well-managed sessions
We create focused environments where pupils can think, write, and participate with confidence.
How it works
We offer flexible delivery depending on your school’s needs and structure.
Termly after-school programmes, aligned with your school calendar
One-off or short-series workshops
Small group, class-based, or whole-year delivery
Programmes tailored to specific year groups or age ranges where appropriate
All sessions are delivered on-site by experienced, DBS-checked staff, with a calm, well-managed approach that allows pupils to engage fully and confidently.
We work closely with each school to ensure programmes fit seamlessly within your timetable and wider provision, and we aim to keep administrative requirements for school teams as light as possible.
Trusted by schools across London
We work with a range of prep, independent, and long-standing state school partners across London. Partners include JAGS, Eaton Square Prep and Alleyn’s Oakfield.
Our programmes are valued for their balance of creativity and structure, and for the calm, purposeful environments we create for pupils to develop their writing.
“It is a pleasure to hear the children who attend our Inkhead Creative Writing After-School club talk with confidence and excitement about their work. The teachers are inspiring, motivating and nurturing, which brings out the best in our young writers.”
— Headteacher, South London school
