Writer in Residence

To really see results in writing in your school, Ian is available for longer term projects spread over two, three or more days.

Story Project

Using one of his own stories as a starting point, Ian shows children how  to plan, write and develop a complete story.  This can be provided over e.g. a full day with one year group, three days spread over a week... even a whole week's writing project across the school.  CLICK HERE for more details.

Non Fiction Writing

Ian uses one of his own stories to begin, but shows how to write a range of non-fiction text types.CLICK HERE for more details.

School Development

Ian can work with individual schools to develop writing. By combining class based writing projects with INSET for teachers you can really place writing development centre stage in your School Improvement Plan.
