“This was one of the best activities I have ever experienced, in 30 years of teaching. The writer was excellent…The children were 100% involved and are still talking about it now. Excellent experience – will definitely book a writer again” - Annette Williams, Rock Ferry Primary School
“The work provided by the writer was outstanding. Their dynamic approach was most successful in engaging and challenging students' approaches to poetry… I felt, and the other co-ordinators agreed, that this was one of the most successful creative writing and arts residentials” - Irene Dyer, Gifted & Talented Co-ordinator, West Derby Schools cluster
"I was particularly pleased as the writer showed the children first draft copies of published poems. They demonstrated not only the importance of editing work but in maintaining ideas too”- Halsnead Primary
“The writer was a brilliant storyteller and the children really enjoyed working with them during the day. They used lots of techniques to involve the children in their stories and sessions. The boys were particularly motivated and all children produced some excellent poems using techniques I will adapt in future lessons” - RJ Thomas, The Brow Primary School, Runcorn
“An excellent day! The writer engaged the whole school with their performance, from KS1 to post 16. A number of our older pupils commented to the writer how much they had enjoyed the performance and thanked them individually. The workshops were also very successful, with even some quite reluctant pupils listening and participating in the sessions” - Debbie Baird, West Kirby Residential Special School
