Joshua Seigal is a poet, performer and workshop leader who aims to inspire confidence and creativity in literacy and communication.

About Joshua
After studying for his Masters in Philosophy at Oxford University, Joshua started to realise that he was much more interested in people than he was in merely abstract ideas. Joshua has performed his poetry at places such as the 2012 London Olympics and the London Festival of Education, and has taken two highly successful children’s poetry shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where he was described in one review as “Joshua Seigal is exactly the kind of person to interest children in poetry”. In 2020 Joshua won the prestigious Laugh Out Loud Book Award.

Joshua’s AIM High Writing Days

Workshops focus on developing literacy skills and having fun with words in a creative, supportive and non-judgemental atmosphere. He is also able to work with specific groups of pupils, such as G&T or reluctant writers and being a young male author means that Joshua is ideally situated to enthuse boys about literacy.

Joshua prides himself on his flexibility and is happy to accommodate the individual requirements of each school. Previous school visits have resulted in pupils producing award-winning poetry!
Joshua is able to offer programmes for KS1, KS2 and KS3, and he is also able to offer sessions focusing on emotional literacy (themes such as identity, jealousy, fear, embarrassment, etc).
