What Students Say…
“Not everyone can captivate 180 Year 7s on a Friday afternoon but Alex did. 180 students were engaged and encouraged by her to come up with original ideas to creative writing. I would wholeheartedly recommend her for an author visit and will welcome her back again soon”. Librarian, Hornsey School for Girls”
