A national children's literature and creative writing programme for schools (360G-phf-31204)

Pop Up want to change both the writing culture in their partner schools and children’s attitudes towards writing, by motivating them to write for enjoyment. Over three years, they want to deepen their relationships with 33 schools in four geographical clusters in England and establish two new clusters in Wales (in partnership with Literature Wales), all in areas of socio-economic deprivation. They want to deliver better, deeper continuing professional development and learning (CPDL) for teachers alongside an improved online presence and resources. They also want to evaluate this work in order to share learning across the sector and raise awareness of the importance of writing for pleasure at policy level.
