“Tim was great and we really appreciated not only his circus skills but his demeanor with the kids and understanding of the other activities going on. The next time we need a circus entertainer we know where to come!”

St Josephs School, Chalfont St Peter, Bucks
" Just wanted to drop a quick line to say what a fantastic two days both the children and the staff have had. The circus team were fabulous from the minute they arrived and set up. They made sure to include all the children even those that were frightened or had special needs and were sitting outside of the tent by getting one of the performers to be outside with them. I would have no hesitation in recommending circus sensible to any school. The buzz around school has been fantastic "

“ I just wanted to write you a quick email to let you know how successful the circus workshops were today. The children and staff thoroughly enjoyed them. David was lovely to work with and engaged with the children right from the start. Lots of children in my class told me afterwards how much fun they had and that they'd like to do it again. Thank you for fitting us in at short notice - such a fun thing to do at the end of the academic year. “

“ It’s a rare and joyful sight - a large circus tent containing a school full of children and staff overcome with laughter. It was irresistibly funny. The circus performers really understood our sense of humour – and the audience participation was exceptionally enthusiastic – from all ages.
Wooburn Green Primary School was the place to be on (last) Tuesday morning. Genuinely the best laugh I have had for a very long time.”

" I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sending ng James!  He was a credit to your company and the students (and staff) had the best day in holiday camp to date.  Not only was he fun but so flexible and amenable.  If you need a review writing, just let me know!  We would have him back in a heartbeat!  "

Circus in Schools

Brain Training

"Complex tasks such as juggling produce significant changes to the structure of the brain, according to scientists at Oxford University. In the journal, Nature Neuroscience, the scientists say they saw a 5% increase in white matter - the cabling network of the brain." In brief, learning a new skill such as Juggling can hard wire our brains to work better and faster! Circus skills help develop and improve concentration skills. This is particularly evident in those children with shorter attention spans. When we run Circus skills workshops in schools the teachers are often amazed that one or more children who usually have a problem concentrating are doing better than anyone else in the class! Learning Circus skills also offers great benefits in terms of physical co-ordination and physical fitness. Circus workshops fit very well into the school curriculum under PE and co-ordination development. In fact there are many areas where Circus workshops offer great opportunities for curriculum enrichment.

Autistic children have been observed to respond particularly well to Circus skills in schools. Circus skills are an opportunity for children and adults to discover and develop skills such as Concentration, Information retention, Concept visualisation, hand eye co-ordination and self awareness.
