"Poetryclass is a wonderful initiative, designed to give insight to students, encouragement to teachers, and illumination to all those who want to make poetry part of their lives." Andrew Motion

Poetryclass inset training is the solution for teachers wanting to bring poetry alive in the classroom. Our unique inset training provides teachers with a 'nuts and bolts' insight into how poetry works and how they can make it work for their pupils.

A training team of poets, all of whom are highly experienced with work in schools and have between them hundreds of tried and tested ideas, is available to work with teachers to overcome their problems and concerns with teaching poetry.

We have worked with a team of professional and experienced poets and leading literacy advisors to design specialist INSETs addressing the ever changing needs of the curriculum.
