Inclusive RSE Workshops
Led by the author, these fun and engaging workshops will take children on an imaginative adventure to Clear Sky Castle; with storytelling, worksheets and drama activities. Suitable for KS1 and KS2, the workshops not only meet National Curriculum RSE* guidelines, in an age appropriate fashion which caters to each year group, but are plenty of fun and packed with information. PLUS you’ll get a free copy of the book to keep in your school. Each workshop lasts for 45 minutes – 1 hour, with the option of having up to 6 sessions in a school day (depending on your timetable).
*Relationship and Sex Education
You can also book an after school INSET session for your teachers, TAs and SMT, which will take you through the delivery of the 5 key LGBTQ+ identities in the book, give guidance on delivering inclusive RSE through drama and answer any questions you have around discussing this topic with children. Get in touch if you’d like to know more.
I am DBS checked with an enhanced disclosure, and have 15 years experience of working with children and young people in school settings.
Cost from: £350 per day of workshops (nationwide) or £120 for a whole school assembly (within London). Workshops can also take place on Zoom or a similar platform at a lower cost.
Author Workshops
I wanted to write books ever since I was little. Now as an adult, I am bursting full of ideas, and spend a lot of my life writing. I can deliver imaginative, creative writing workshops to all primary school aged groups, which will get them diving deep in to their imaginations, creating characters, locations and stories. They will also have an opportunity to ask any questions they have about writing books, getting published and how to write or tell an engaging story.

If your school would like to book a workshop, but are finding cost to be a barrier, get in touch to talk about ways in which we might still be able to make it happen.
The Big Book of LGBTQ+ Activities
Teaching Children About Gender Identity, Sexuality, Relationships and Different Families
With 5 fun tales featuring merpeople, a rainbow wedding and a back-to-front horse, this captivating guide to LGBTQ+ identities takes you on a journey through Clear Sky Castle to promote inclusion for children aged 6 to 9. The interactive stories and games – including drawing, sculpting, word searches and quizzes – raise awareness of different kinds of families, as well as identities such as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and non-binary, and teach acceptance for all. The resourceful ‘Guide for Adults’ at the end of the book offers advice, answers to activities throughout, and signposts to helpful organisations for the adult reading the book with the child.
