“'The children had a visit from Circus Sensible and it was fantastic! The children absolutely love it from the demonstrations to having a go at the activities, it was such a wonderful day. They have enjoyed talking about the skills they leaned and have tried to have a go at juggling since. It was such an inclusive session and was wonderful to see all the children engaged. They followed it up with some art work the next which was fantastic all about the circus linked to Goose Fair.’

Pete was brilliant with the children and his whole school assembly was fabulous!!! We will definitely book him again next year. We have had an absolute ball. I will be highly recommending him to other schools!!! "

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.
