“Thank you so much Andy! It was an absolutely incredible morning with all the children, across the primary phase. All 640 children included. Amazing! ”
From storytelling interactive performances to story creation workshops. Andy Copps has extensive experience in working with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stage One and Key Stage Two for primary school ages, through to secondary school up to Key Stage 4.

Storytelling is a wonderful interactive and educational motivator for both children and teachers.
