‘Creative Writing helps children explore their imagination, develop their linguistic skills and have an outstanding ability to express their emotions’.

Our creative writing course is designed and tailored individually to guide children from age 8+ through eight fun, engaging lessons that help them explore every corner of their imagination. Each lesson focuses on a different aspect of creative writing - from building characters and designing magical worlds to crafting exciting plots and playing with poetic language. Children learn step-by-step, developing confidence, improving their writing skills, and discovering the joy of expressing their ideas.

Throughout the course, students will complete a variety of short activities, mini-stories, and creative challenges that encourage them to think boldly and write proudly. By the end of the program, all of your child’s best work will be carefully collected into a personalised digital creative writing booklet -a special keepsake that celebrates their progress, creativity, and unique voice.

This course is designed to be both educational and enjoyable, giving children the tools they need to become confident storytellers while having fun along the way.
