New York Times Bestselling Author Tony Lee Visits Halfway Houses Primary School and Opens New Library
Tue 29 Apr 2025We were delighted to welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author Tony Lee for a day packed with imagination, excitement, and celebration. Known for his thrilling stories and larger-than-life stage presence, Tony Lee delivered an unforgettable experience during his special visit to our school.
The day began with an energetic and captivating Key Stage Two assembly where Mr. Lee shared his journey as a professional writer, treated students to one of his famously spooky stories, and kept the entire audience enthralled with his humor, enthusiasm, and storytelling magic.
Following the assembly, the Year 6 children took part in an interactive, creative workshop, led by Tony himself. The session gave the children an immersive, behind-the-scenes look at the writing process and sparked creativity, with many budding authors walking away newly inspired to put pen to paper.
A major highlight of the day was Tony's official opening of the brand-new school library. With a celebratory ribbon-cutting and cheers from children and staff, the new space was unveiled as a hub for reading, discovery, and imagination. The school community came together to mark the occasion, recognising the importance of reading and access to books in every child’s education.
“Our new library is at the heart of our school’s commitment to fostering a love of reading, and thanks to Tony's generosity with his time and passion for inspiring the next generation of readers and writers the children have had a fabulous day," Mr. Allen, Head of School. “His passion for storytelling has left a lasting impression on our students and today was truly a celebration of learning and imagination.”
Tony's visit was truly a memorable milestone in our school's literacy journey and in his words "a library isn't just a room full of books, it's a home."
