Wandsworth Schools Poetry Project
A borough-wide poetry project for primary schools in Wandsworth, delivered in partnership with Apples & Snakes
Participating schools will receive a series of poetry workshops and will be invited to take part in a celebration event where young people will get to perform their own works in front of their peers and other schools in November 2025.
We are excited to be working with the following primary schools this term:
• Alderbrook Primary School
• Anglo Portuguese School of London
• Griffin Primary School
• Holy Ghost RC Primary School
• John Burns Primary School
• Mosaic Jewish Primary School
• Southmead Primary School
• St Faith's CE Primary School
• St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School
• Tooting Primary School
Each school will give an in-school performance of their poetry, before a representative group of pupils bring their work to the Civic Suite later in November for our Poetry Festival.
Meet the Poets
Would you like your school to take part in the Poetry Festival? Sign up to SPIN: Rhymes, Rhythms & Raps on Wednesday 19th November 2025, for an interactive poetry and spoken word performance with Joseph Coelho, Zohab Zee Khan and Pomme!
Teachers can also get involved! Come along to a special CPD with Joseph Coelho to learn some tips on writing and performing poetry in the classroom.
