John was fantastic! The children loved his poems (as did the staff!). The assembly was wonderful and the children were very enthused by their sessions in class. Highly recommended! Bernadette Charnley, Headteacher of Our Lady of the Rosary Primary
What to Expect
I usually start with a whole school assembly – lots of engagement and lots of fun! Then, according to your timetable, I’ll work through as many classes as I can. Each session is interactive and designed for the specific age group. They last between 45 and 60 minutes. I have a 30 years experience working in primary schools, so I am comfortable teaching across KS1 and KS2.
Some nice things people have said about John …
The children were engaged, enthused and full of laughter. A great workshop to inspire any young poet. – Laura Byrne, Headteacher of St Mary’s Primary School Ulverston
John led an engaging, amusing and highly interactive range of sessions for the whole school and individual classes that were thoroughly enjoyed by all and resulted in some brilliant poetry being written by the children, both individually and in groups. I would highly recommend him to other schools!” Matthew Jessop, Headteacher of Crosthwaite Primary
