Schools Programme
Each year, Frinton Literary Festival creates a special programme for school-age children, bringing authors, stories and creativity directly into local classrooms.

This year, we’ll be bringing two authors into selected primary schools across the Tendring district.
More details will be announced closer to the festival.
How does it work?
Delivered free of charge to participating schools
Made possible by local sponsors and festival supporters
Encourages a lifelong love of reading and writing
Over the years, a wide range of authors and illustrators have visited local schools, leading talks, workshops and creative sessions with pupils.
​
Visits have included primary schools across Tendring, as well as Tendring Technology College.
Many of our visiting authors also appear as part of the wider festival programme.
