Willowtown Community Primary School host a Never Such Innocence Poetry Workshop

Chwefror 2025

Clive Sanders, a poet in residence with the charity Never Such Innocence met the SSCE Cymru, Participation Lead Officer, Jo at Willowtown Community Primary School on Monday 17th February to lead a series of poetry workshops for the year 5 and 6 Service children alongside their peers. This event was kindly funded by the Naval Children's Charity, aimed to highlight and further promote the strong community connections the school already shares with the Armed Forces.

Never Such Innocence  is a fantastic charity that runs creative competitions throughout the year. The most recent competition focused on the theme "How can we prevent future conflict?"—a tricky subject, especially in light of recent world events. However, the children at Willowtown rose to the challenge. With Clive's gentle guidance and armed with a "poetry pencil," they produced some incredible work. It was a wonderfully enjoyable day, and some children even surprised themselves with their poetic flair!

A big diolch/thank you to the Naval Children's Charity, Never Such Innocence, the school staff for organizing the event, and of course, the participating children. You were amazing! Clive and Jo were warmly welcomed at Willowtown, where they had the privilege of meeting their Service children, who happily shared their experiences.

The closing date for entries to the Never Such Innocence competition is the 7th March. It would be fantastic to see some entries from Wales. So pick up a 'poetry pencil' and get creating...who knows, you might even be the next Clive Sanders!
