Over the last 6 years we have worked with well over 1,000 schools, youth groups, colleges, prisons or community groups around the U.K. and here are a few comments.

Student comments and evaluations at the end of each day yield many responses some of which are “ wicked, sick, great, fun, mint, super, good, better than I thought, cool day, excellent, can you be our teacher?, respect, safe, bad raps, your alright you are, please come to our school again”

Teachers comments

"Fantatstic day. The pupils were engaged right from the start through to the final performance. Very organised and structured with high quality results."  Mrs S. Armstrong - Abraham Moss High School, Manchester.

“Fantastic, the students are still talking about it, we want you back for next year” Shelle Byrne - Ashlawn School Rugby 

“It was spot on, in terms of appeal, motivation, content, pace. The students found it fun, and inspiring, the level was appropriate, contained the right balance of challenge and expectation as well as relaxed enjoyment”  Mrs R. Bailey - Lyndon Humanities College, Birmingham

“Excellent, these pupils (particularly boys) were very interested, empowering and creative”  Heather Atkinson - Alexandra High School, Tipton.


We are not teachers and could not do what they do however we are arts practitioners trained to engage, educate, enthuse and empower in one day around the topic of poetry. Rhyme doctors who make learning fun. Dreadlockalien
