About Luke's
School visits
As a child, Luke was a reluctant reader and writer, yet today he’s a successful children’s author, on a mission to show children that they can enjoy reading and writing.
Luke’s KS2 and KS1 sessions are full of action-packed drama, laugh-out-loud fun and audience interaction. He is “a powerful role model for children who are reluctant readers and writers,” says Ros Flanders at Moorfield Primary.
Luke has worked with over a thousand schools and would love to visit yours!

Testimonials
“The children and staff were captivated. Luke inspired the children to believe in themselves and to engage with reading and writing… they could barely contain their excitement. We would definitely recommend him.” Julie Petitt, Literacy Coordinator, Whitehill Junior
“Luke is a powerful role model for children who don’t enjoy reading and writing. The children were held spellbound by Luke’s ingenious, humorous and creative approach, and his unforgettable presentation will inspire and motivate them for some time to come.” Ros Flanders, Deputy Head, Moorfield Primary
“We all agree that it is the most successful author visit we have ever had and are still amazed at the impact it has had on our children’s reading. Thank you Luke for such an inspiring time!” Cara Thomas, Literacy Coordinator, Ladygrove Primary
“The response from Luke’s visit has been fantastic! Not only was he popular across the classes, he has had a huge impact on our boys who are reluctant to write… Part of my initial reason for booking Luke was to raise aspirations and the profile of writing. I feel this has been achieved and more.” Adam Ames, Head, Crudgington Primary
