Tibshelf School, Alfreton

“I just wanted to send my thanks to the performer who came to Tibshelf- he was fantastic! Every one of our students was engaged and voiced how much they had enjoyed ( as did the staff!). He pitched it perfectly for the age group and ability range. I couldn't have been happier with what he provided for us. I have already put a pitch in to our SLT for next year so will hopefully be in touch regarding a future booking.”

Fairfield School, Buxton

“ Thank you for your email, we had a truly wonderful day with Circus Sensible. I feel very bad as I can't remember the leaders name, possible Stewart but he was FANTASTIC. He did a wonderful whole school assembly which was enjoyed by all, followed by the class workshops. He really understood our children and saw the important relevance of providing them with a fun but inspirational event. He allowed them to have lots of fun but also had great behaviour management which is key in our school. He was extremely friendly to the children and staff and a pleasure to have in all day. He even chose to work through some of his break to allow the children to have longer in the assembly”

Allenton Primary, Derby

" I just wanted to say that the children had a wonderful day on Monday and please pass on a big thank you to Pete for making it so enjoyable!
It was a great start to their topic for this term which is The Circus and a lovely surprise for their first day back at school. "

Merrill Academy, Derby

" Just wanted to say a massive thank you for coming to provide the circus skills workshops for our summer school. Once again, it has gone down a treat and we will certainly be booking again next year if we get the funding.
Obviously, I will promote you guys as and when I can to others that I come into contact with "

Zaytouna Primary School, Derby

" I know I spoke to each of you on the day that you spent with us at Zaytouna this week, but I would like to express my sincere thanks again as our children have had such a brilliant week! We had assembly this morning and they were still elated at what they have taken part in over the last few days.
We will definitely be in touch again to continue our relationship. Again, thanks you for helping us get off to a great ACTIVE start to the school year "

The Science of Circus

"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.

Activities such as Circus skills have been used with great success as an educational tool, as an aid to learning as well as therapeutically with children at risk and with children with special needs. 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. These skills can then be used in many other settings including social situations and in conventional educational settings whilst learning the core subjects.
