Children and staff alike thoroughly enjoyed our visit from Ann. Every year group participated in a tailor made workshop that included story telling, music, movement and the opportunity for the children to ask Ann about her journey to become an author and top tips to improve their own writing. It was a fun and truly inspirational day!

Alice was fantastic at our Children’s Literature Festival, running two wonderful workshops on Matisse and modern art. The children loved the creativity and freedom her sessions encouraged, and several adults commented on how engaging and well-delivered they were. Everyone came away inspired and full of ideas.

Alice was absolutely brilliant at our Children’s Literature Festival. Her workshop based on The Leaf Thief was a huge hit with both children and families. The session was engaging, fun, and perfectly pitched for young readers — everyone left with smiles on their faces and lovely feedback about how much they enjoyed it.

We had an excellent online event with Matt Oldfield. He was very engaging and his passion for reading and writing really came across in his delivery. He was very well prepared and was happy to answer the many many questions the children put to him through the chat box function. I'd highly recommend him for online events.

We were delighted to welcome Ruth to Tithe Farm Primary School for an author visit. Throughout the day, she worked with all year groups from Reception to Year 6, delivering a series of inspiring assemblies and engaging workshops that captivated pupils and staff alike.
Ruth’s enthusiasm for reading and writing shone through in every session. She skilfully adapted her approach for each age group, ensuring that all children were motivated, involved, and inspired to develop their own creativity. Her storytelling ability and interactive activities helped bring books to life and encouraged pupils to see themselves as writers.
The feedback from both children and teachers has been overwhelmingly positive — everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We are very grateful to Ruth for providing such an enriching and memorable day, and we would highly recommend her to any school looking to promote a love of reading and writing.

Danielle's visit was a wonderful success - she inspired many of our pupils to purchase and read her books, and she was incredibly down to earth, with many of her experiences and pieces of advice resonating with our pupils. Her discussion of the law, the justice system and the inequality faced by people of colour was very moving and was appreciated by our pupils - many of whom are hoping to work in politics and Law later in life.
