Testimonials:
"Our Year 7 and 8 classes were delighted to have a Zoom visit from Philip this week. It was fascinating to hear his reasons for writing The Arrow of Apollo and to hear about all his other books as well. The guided creative writing exercises that he did with the children inspired them to come up with some fascinating myth-based ideas, and I know they will be able to use these as prompts for longer pieces of writing. His visit was a real highlight." - Notting Hill Preparatory School.
'A huge thank you for coming to Kensington last week to share The Liberators with the children. They were all transfixed during your reading and many of them have rushed off to buy their own copy.'
Thomas' Kensington
'They were gripped. And the interactive bit for the younger ones was great.'
Ravenstone School, Gloucester Road.
'Thank you so much for coming in today and giving so much of your time and energy to help the young creative minds of Grey Coats! Your lesson was fantastic and a lot of them used what you had taught to write some brilliant beginnings to stories after lunch.'
Greycoats Hospital School, Victoria
'We all really enjoyed the morning. Various staff reported quite a 'buzz' around the school as the boys spoke about the readings, meeting you and having their books signed!'
Ludgrove School, Berkshire
'The boys obviously loved listening to the novel and talking to you and I was told this morning about a rather reluctant reader found in dorm avidly glued to The Liberators.'
Pilgrims, Winchester
'Thank you so much for yesterday. The girls really enjoyed your visit.'
St Teresas, Surrey
'Thank you again for your visit today. The feed-back from the boys has been most positive and I have no doubt that many will now be asking their parents to purchase your books!'
Christchurch Cathedral School, Oxford
'We all enjoyed meeting you and I am extremely grateful to you for making the effort to come and give a splendid talk.'
