Writing Together was a six-year project that aimed to ensure that, during their life at school, every child encounters opportunities to work with professional writers who inspire them creatively.
The project ended in March 2007 but the website includes a step-by-step guide to planning a writer visit, complete with downloadable materials, and links to organizations that help teachers to find writers who are experienced at working in schools. There are also case studies of varying writer in school projects, from a one day visit to a long term cross-curricular programme.
Writing Together was a partnership between Arts Council England, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, the Primary and Secondary National Strategies, the National Association of Writers in Education, Booktrust and The Poetry Society.
Visit the website to learn more about how pupils can benefit from working with a professional writer.
