Schools

I worked with Hackney Archives and primary school children on the Stoke Newington Heritage Mural Project. This project will culminate in a mural and a collection of poetry by students at William Patten Primary School.

The British Library asked me to run workshops for primary school children in connection with their children’s poetry exhibition ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Bat.’

I ran workshops and performed in primary schools in Peckham as part of the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education’s Southwark anthology project. This culminated in the publication of two anthologies and DVDS featuring poetry and animation by the children.

I ran workshops for the National Archives in Lampton School using WWI archives as inspiration for creative writing about the South Asian experience of the war. http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/south-asia-first-world-war/

I ran a series of poetry workshops with Creative Partnerships at Stewards Science School.

I was poet in residence for Eastbury Comprehensive School.

I worked with primary school children and Finsbury Park Homeless Families Project to create a book, Inside My Magic Suitcase, about refugee experiences.

I have worked with the Samaritans and Apples & Snakes in secondary schools in Ealing on a poetry project that culminated in a showcase at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith as well as a book and a DVD.

I completed a residency with Creative Partnerships at Mayville Primary School.

I was poet in residence at the Central Foundation School for Girls.
