The energy was palpable and the moments as the storytellers entered the classroom will stay in our memories for ever. It was one of the best days in my career working in primary education.

What Teachers Say

The staff and children had a brilliant day!! They were talking about the stories for ages after and the staff were too!

Marie Sanderson, English Lead,
Hedworth Lane Primary School

We had a fantastic day! The buzz from the children was infectious.

Emma Birmingham, deputy Head,
Heswall St Peter’s CE School

We had such a great day and are still buzzing from all the stories and creative energy. Thank you for making it such fun for all of us. The children absolutely loved all the stories.

Sophie Hyslop, Senior Teacher, Wardour Primary School

Thank you again for our brilliant story raid yesterday. I have been talking to the children this morning about the stories they enjoyed and their ability to retell them in detail is amazing.

Joanna Cunningham, Assistant Head,
Brunshaw Primary School

A great impact in terms of the element of surprise. It gave a real excitement to the day. The children loved hearing the stories and enjoyed retelling them. I loved the excitement level that this event gave. The staff session was also brilliant - lots of techniques that can be used in the future.

Claire Moseley, English Lead, St John’s Primary School

It was fantastic… The children were so enthused by listening to you all. I know I have my Year 1's asking all day if I could tell them a story and will be using the techniques you showed us in the training.

Natalie Grist, English Lead,
Ryelands Primary School

It was a great day and would definitely do it again, thank you!!!

Dave McPartlin, Headteacher, Flakefleet Primary School

The children absolutely loved story raids… They were so engaged throughout and loved the element of surprise when a new storyteller came in. We still talk about how brilliant it was weeks after! Probably the best thing the school has ever bought.
