Schools & CPD

Either in person or via our digital workshops, we can help your pupils find a love of writing through creativity. The Writers’ Block is a creative writing space and programme which aims to break down barriers to writing for reluctant writers and helps those more able to write at greater depth.

Schools workshops & programmes

Sessions and 6 week programmes developing creative writing and literacy skills which can focus on inspiring reluctant writers, supporting those more able to write at greater depth, targeting areas such as developing vocabulary, sentences for impact, increasing confidence in speaking and sharing. These take place at the new Writers’ Block in Redruth or we can also visit your school. Available for KS2, 3 & 4.
