Spark ideas and watch creativity bloom
with our free poetry resources.
Featuring great poems around this year’s theme, Refuge, our free resources are full of ways to get students reading, discussing, performing, and writing – no matter their confidence level.
They’re ready to go as worksheets, or you can use them as prompts and thought starters for your class activities.
They’re designed by cross-curriculum experts to be used in all sorts of subject lessons, with materials available all the way from KS1 to KS5.
