Education
I provide inspirational cross-curricular eco-edutainment for children and young people, from pre-school, through to primary and secondary school. This takes the form of poetry performances and workshops linked to the National Curriculum, photography workshops and eco-musicals. I also provide a unique ‘Poet in Residence’ programme.

A memorable experience for the students.’

These events can be held at your school, or at another suitable venue, such as a museum, environment centre, or park.
The National Literacy Strategy recognises poetry as ‘a central aspect of literacy’. All my poetry workshops and performances help establish the ‘positive climate for poetry’ called for by the NLS.
