Work in Schools

I have a lot of experience in mainstream and special needs settings and I have been able to explore how the imagination of children of all ages can be nurtured and nourished. I create innovative sessions for schools and pre-schools that include themed story circles or longer story workshops. During a workshop we explore one particular myth or fairy tale and the adventure unfolds with storytelling, movement, music, visualisation and role play. To enhance story making and recording I offer book-making, weaving and sewing projects and the making of story objects or props.

I am available to visit schools for a day,or for longer residencies. I like to work with a school over a period of time as a higher quality of story work takes as the images and story language settle and take shape within each child, and relatioships form.

"Thank you so much for helping everyone's imagination fill up with ideas!"

"Carol did a remarkable job of engaging all of the children with her beautiful and spell-binding story telling. She was always very positive, calm and gentle in her approach with all the children ... Every child's contribution was noticed, praised and valued."

"It was lovely to have such a calm and professional visitor to my class."

"Thank you for a super story telling day! Your gentle yet captivating approach has set the children buzzing..."

"I just wanted to thank you for the super workshop you ran for us this week. The feedback from the children & parents has commended the content & quality of delivery."
