The Bearwood Free School 2020At Christmas time, 2019, I thought, after completing eight years of full time teaching English and Drama, it would be nice to teach in a different more relaxed way, maybe part time, tuition or supply, after a small break and some creative writing of my own. Well, the world has suddenly changed but my skills and enthusiasm for poetry, fiction and Shakespeare remain just the same. So, I am offering a daily 60 minutes of informal and purposeful English and drama writing related lessons/activities for pupils around Bearwood from Year 7 to Year 10. We will use Zoom for interacting and the digital class size will be a maximum of 8 pupils per lesson. Depending on who wants to join, it is FREE and will be for Year 7s on Monday - Friday at 10.45am to 11.45am or, depending on demand, year 8s/9s/10, TBC. Get in touch, by email using the CONTACT page to confirm your Bearwood address (street only, no number required) and express your interest/enrol with details of your son or daughter's age for the first week of lessons (hopefully) beginning on Monday 30th March, 2020. There will be no exams, though expectations will be high. Areas of work will focus on monologues, poetry and consideration of the best bits from Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and classic texts including Of Mice and Men and An Inspector Calls. This voluntary offer in extraordinary times is subject to amendment and review on a weekly basis. Do join me and let's try something new. Please note I am not employed by any school but in the last eight years across Birmingham I have taught in a Grammar, Comprehensive and Free school.
