Hot Poets Workshops

“Words have power. They spark ideas, build confidence, and change the way we see the world. Hot Poets Ignite Education brings that power into classrooms across the UK — through the unforgettable creativity of former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen and an inspiring team of contemporary poets. Together, they light up learning. They turn poetry into action — exploring language, story, and the world around us. At the heart of this programme is the planet itself. Children connect with climate and the environment, discover their voices, and imagine brighter ways to live on Earth together. From English and science to geography and PSHE, Hot Poets Ignite Education weaves poetry through the curriculum — sparking curiosity, joy and deep learning. Poetry is the spark

Chris Redmond from Hot Poets is coming to East Kent to work with KS3 children from our partner schools. Two workshops have been scheduled for the morning and afternoon. Please complete a short Microsoft form to sign up to six students to either a morning or afternoon session. AM & PM slots are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Once a session is full the form will no longer accept responses. However there are enough spaces so that children from each school can attend.

Sign up via the EKST News Bulletin or via the EKST Events Calendar.
