Unlike our assessment-driven tuition classes, focused on 11+ preparation, our creative writing club takes a more relaxed, explorative and creative approach.
However, the sessions are the perfect accompaniment or introduction to 11+ preparation.
The Club is run by Imogen, a primary teacher with twenty years experience of inspiring children to write. As well as being a teacher, Imogen is a mother of four.
"Imogen's positive encouragement and fun activities help nurture renewed excitement and enthusiasm for creative writing." (Parent)
Set in our peaceful National Trust garden, overlooked by nobody but the cows, the children are inspired to produce some outstanding pieces of writing. We spend as much time as we can in the garden, learning through play and nature, while simultaneously embedding the key skills needed for high level creative writing.
When the British weather gets the better of us, we retreat to our hand-crafted classroom or our bell tent! The mixed age groups work brilliantly for team projects and a building club atmosphere, but all children all work to their own age-appropriate targets.
"I think the wonderful garden setting, surrounded by open fields, with features such as a kitchen garden with home-made scarecrows, tadpoles, bunnies and a hedgehog, really provides inspiration! My daughter really appreciates being able to concentrate on her writing in a variety of special little handbuilt hide-aways, like the treehouse, summerhouse and mud-kitchen." (Parent)
