Jeni Smith

Jeni Smith has been writing with teachers for decades, even longer in schools. She believes that everyone is entitled to know and use writing in ways that are important to them; that writing is fundamental to the ways in which we think and grow, to our emotional, social and intellectual well-being. Jeni has taught children from nursery to A-Level and was a teacher educator at UEA.  Now, she is embedded in the life of a rural school where she continues to learn about how writing happens. Jeni runs three teachers’ writing groups in East Anglia and co-founded the NWP UK in 2009. She is joint chair of the NWP national committee.
