English – Creative Writing Study Days

Students use the fascinating characters and unusual locations of the Old Royal Naval College to inspire them in their personal and creative writing.

"Their imaginations were fired up and the level of questioning was fantastic. The pieces of work were telling of the levels of enjoyment."

"Really inspired me to go and write."
