We had a wonderful visit from Ray Star on World Book Day. Ray did workshops with each year group where she talked about her journey as an author and the books she has written. She helped the children develop their own stories by thinking about the types of characters and what might happen. Ray was really engaging and brilliant with the children - we all loved her visit! Thank you Ray Star!

The communication between Lou and the school was fantastic, and the resources provided were amazing.
All the children engaged in the workshops and the fact she would do larger numbers meant all the school were able to access her sessions.

Ken worked with Year 7 to create some suspenseful creative pieces which the students really enjoyed! After the session, students were keen to share their writing with each other and a few have been inspired to start writing short stories at home! Ken was enthusiastic, engaging and adaptable. Thanks Ken!

Josh came to visit our college yesterday to speak to our students over two talks. I can't speak highly enough of Josh, the event was fantastic and the students had a great time. We will 100% be rebooking for next year.

Kimberly was absolutely fantastic and the girls loved meeting her. They really got a well-deserved confidence boost from the session she led, and the activities were so accessible to all ability-levels in the group. She has a lovely and calming personality and her focus on being introverted deeply resonated with the group.

Emilie was a dynamic and interesting speaker who led our session with personability and skill. She was able to wow our pupils with her poetry, giving them a really good idea of what it takes to become a poet as she shared a love for her craft. She engaged our Year 8s with her personal experience, performing two of her poems for us, as well as setting them a poetry task which we cannot wait to explore. Emilie has a really lovely manner, and even though this was an online session, we felt that she was in the room with us. Thank you for your time and sharing your passion with us, Emilie!

Bridget delivered a fantastic workshop for years 2 and 3. She was engaging throughout and interacted with all the children. The children loved reading her book Mo's Best Friend and it was a great way to consolidate the learning that year 3 had done on the topic. She was incredibly generous with her time!
