Welcome to
Dire Moon Academy
A 'School' for young witches and wizards
Step into a world where imagination leads the way and learning is shaped by curiosity, nature, and creativity. Dire Moon Academy offers thoughtfully crafted workshops for young witches and wizards, where storytelling, hands-on making and imaginative exploration come together to spark confidence, creativity, and wonder.
Inside the Academy
At Dire Moon Academy, every session is filled with imagination, teamwork, independence, and of course... fun!Each child will have their own role and responsibilities, working alongside friends of different ages to learn, create, and uncover magical secrets together.
Each workshop is led by myself, Charlie, Head of Dire Moon Academy, alongside magical guides, who are also fully DBS-checked. I am paediatric first aid trained, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for every young witch and wizard.Every “lesson” is brimming with magic, imagination, teamwork, independence, and discovery. Weather permitting, we may spend some time exploring the wonders of near by nature, gathering ingredients for our magical creations, hunting for magical creatures and playing in our 'Wizarding Trials'
Please Note:
Each workshop stretches over four magical hours, giving young witches and wizards plenty of time to explore, craft, bond, and work independently, where there’s no rush, only wonder and discovery.Workshops are a drop-off experience for children aged 5 to 11.
Children are welcome to bring witch hats or wizard cloaks etc.This is not a formal school. I am not a qualified teacher, and this workshop does not provide official education.
Children will engage in imaginative play, exploration, and creative activities.
Through these activities, children may encounter concepts related to English, maths and science, but this is part of playful discovery, not structured teaching.
The workshop is designed to be fun, magical, and exploratory, giving children the chance to be creative, curious, and active.
