Creative Minds Bookclubs combines the best of reading and writing for children and young adults. Focusing on a different genre each term they have the opportunity to discuss the texts with their peers, communicating their own thoughts and opinions within a supportive and encouraging community. After deep diving into the world of the story, the characters and themes, prompts are created to spark ideas for their own creative writing.

Creative Minds Bookclub helps to:

• encourage critical thinking

• listen to new perspectives

• build communication skills

• create community

• broaden use of vocabulary

• nurture creativity

• develop a love of reading

• improve writing & comprehension skills

We aim to read a diverse and wide reaching range of authors and genres (such as poetry,  plays, autobiographies, contemporary, classical & historical fiction - to name just a few). As an avid reader and cross- genre writer herself Caroline creates fun, dynamic and informative sessions where young readers and writers grow in their confidence and learning.

Caroline has run creative classes and workshops at Sydenham Prep, Oakfield Prep, Alexandra School Sydenham, Washwood Heath Academy, James Allens Girls School, Blackheath Prep, University of the Arts London & Imperial College London.
