Schools
In the last fifteen years Andy Croft has worked in almost 400 schools all over the UK – in Nursery, Reception, Infants, Junior and Secondary, in Special Schools, EBD schools and PRUs – and with teachers on CPD days.
Many of these projects were led by organisations like the Poetry Society, Writing Together and New Writing North. In 2007 he developed a pilot project for PFEG (Personal Finance Education Group) using poetry to teach economic literacy in primary schools.
