Testimonials

• SS Philip and James School Oxford
  "The children thoroughly enjoyed the session and the teachers thought it was fantastic. They also said that every child had a go at the writing part and that in the past it has been hard to motivate some of them. Well done!"
• St Andrew’s School Headington, Oxford
  "A wonderful set of poems and ideas that really worked. The resulting children’s work will be used for part of their curriculum."
• Marsh Baldon School, Oxford
  "Children were engaged with the activity and enjoyed the poems. A good range of poems and styles. Open activity enabled different levels of learning ability"
• Appleton Primary School
  "Lovely for the children to hear original work; Very stimulating; good interaction. Relevant to age groups. Children enjoyed the session and opportunity to write their own poems."
• Beckley Primary School, Oxford
  'A Journey Through the Millennium' - Four playlets; rhyming links for 'time travellers' and music: from a Beatles medley to Elizabethan madrigal. The play took the children on a journey from the year 2000 back to when Christ was born. Feedback was extremely positive, with many parents praising the humour, and delighted that so many pupils were able to have a chance to act.
