Schools & Events
About Alex’s school visits
I love visiting schools and sharing the magic of books and storytelling.
My events are suitable for primary age children. They consist of fun, interactive workshops – Story Worlds for KS1, and Story Sparks for KS2. I can also offer story readings for Nursery and Reception. Please check out my PDF below to see what each session typically includes. I also give School Assemblies – with plenty of audience participation! – and can do library openings and book signings.
How to book an event & fees
If you are interested in me visiting your school, please email me at alexpage16@yahoo.co.uk with details of your preferred dates, location, age group(s) and I will respond as soon as I can.
My event fees are £200 for 1/2 day (3-4 hours), or £350 for a full day (6-7 hrs), plus reasonable travel expenses.
I understand how squeezed school budgets are. I can offer virtual visits for £50 per hour. There are also plenty of free resources below to help you put together fun lesson activities.
Testimonials
“We were delighted to welcome Alexandra to our school in World Book Week. Her workshops were truly inspiring as she showed our children how extraordinary stories can be created from the seemingly ordinary, unlocking their imaginations in new and exciting ways. Alexandra’s thoughtful, engaging approach empowered them to think creatively, collaborate confidently, and see themselves as real storytellers. They also developed an understanding of the power stories can have beyond the paper as they learnt how to deal with nerves and share their ideas with others.
Alexandra’s visit left a lasting impact on our school community, and we are incredible grateful for the joy, creativity, and inspiration she brought to every session. We highly recommend her to any school looking to ignite a love of storytelling.”
Ms C Morrissey, Head of English, Lochinver House School
“Alex was fantastic when she came in to visit the children at our school. She spoke to each key stage and engaged them in the writing process, taking them all the way through from the initial idea to the printing press! Children loved hearing about how they could turn their own ideas into stories and were fascinated to learn how books were printed! Thank you Alex for your visit!”
Mrs Newham, Merryhills School
“All the teachers and children loved your workshops – you were really engaging and completely “got” all our children, from ages 2-7, grabbing their attention and making all their ideas and suggestions feel valued and important. You were at exactly the right level and could really relate to them, and they all responded to that. It was a really lovely day and I have already had one of my class tell me that they are coming as The Worry Tiger on World Book Day!”
Mr Dean, Kings Ely Pre-Prep
