Inspired by Miss Pickford’s love for English language and literature, The Writing Box workshops aim to guide children through their first steps as writers, readers and English enthusiasts.

Success in this subject comes from an understanding of structure, a nurturing of confidence, and a familiarity of form, and our passionate teachers are equipped to inspire your children through their english journey, whatever the focus of the workshop may be.

 

  • My daughter was suffering from a writer’s block; she showed no motivation in reading or writing since lockdown and struggled to generate her own ideas. Since attending the course, she has turned a milestone and is buzzing with confidence.

  • We were so pleased with this course. My reluctant writer daughter came home every day with a smile on her face and was talking about the story she was working on. Finally a learning camp which is fun. Thank you.

  • Fantastic courses, comprehensive and fun. Children come out happy and keen to show what they have been working on.

  • Z did his final exam at Tiffin Grammar. He had to complete a creative writing piece and smashed it. He used every tool he took from your class and it really helped.

  • My little one attended one of The Writing Box’s workshops this summer and loved it! He not only came back asking when he could go again but his booklet was such a joy to read at the end - full of creative ideas and superb writing.

Miss Pickford fell in love with words before anything else in her life

As a tiny tot, this manifested in conversation. She talked and talked, chewing the ears off anyone who would listen. Growing older, this love translated to reading words. And books became her wake up, her go to sleep and her everything in between. Page after page after page allowed her to score an A for English A-level, and receive a first in an English Literature undergraduate at The University of Cape Town. Extensive tutoring over the last ten years, working with a diverse range of needs across a variety of subjects and eventually taking the plunge into becoming a qualified primary school teacher has just propelled her passion even further. Now she’s making it her aim to instil the same enjoyment, confidence and exhilaration that she feels towards the subject, in all the little stars she teaches.
