Testimonials:
“Katy’s visit was a really valuable experience for our pupils right through from Yr 5 to Yr 12. Assemblies and Q&A sessions were engaging for the larger groups, but what we were especially delighted with was the workshops she offered for our G&T pupils, who thrived under her professional guidance. An author’s direction of skilled creative writers’ work is something which we as English teachers cannot offer our pupils in the same way, and Katy’s approach allowed pupils’ confidence and skills both to grow. Highly recommended!”
