Our specialists engage with the children’s imagination and provide them with a hands-on approach to learning.

Our workshops engage with children’s imagination and provide them with a hands-on approach. Children explore and enjoy the creative world where freedom of expression is encouraged using a variety of media and text. We understand how children learn and their thirst for entertainment; The English Academy Workshop endeavour to stimulate cognitive development in young minds which motivates their behaviour towards academic and personal growth.

"The mask making workshop was exactly tailored to the needs of my class. Good communication prior to the session  ensured that the facilitators knew precisely what our required outcome was. They were very well organised and resourced for the workshop, having obviously put a lot of time and effort into preparing for it." - Miss V. MacDonald; Year 5 Teacher; St Luke's Primary School

"It was a really positive experience for the children, they learned/refined lots of skills but just as important it was fun and they really enjoyed it.  It was also really useful for me as a teacher to pick up tips and skills which I can bring to my future practice." - Miss V. MacDonald; Year 5 Teacher; St Luke's Primary School
