Spark ideas and watch creativity bloom with our free poetry resources.

Featuring great poems around this year’s theme, Refuge, our free resources are full of ways to get students reading, discussing, performing, and writing – no matter their confidence level.

They’re ready to go as worksheets, or you can use them as prompts and thought starters for your class activities.

They’re designed by cross-curriculum experts to be used in all sorts of subject lessons, with materials available all the way from KS1 to KS5.

By engaging your classes with poetry, you’ll give them their own refuge to express themselves and think about the world around them differently.

Here’s where you can find:

• poems to read and share
• resources for the classroom and at home
• videos of poets reading their poems (Oh, and a host of new videos we commissioned for this year here)
• events near you
• competitions you can enter
• Hot Poets’ global participation project

Happy National Poetry Day everybody!
