“ Can I just say what an amazing day we have had! Obbi was amazing and has kept the children engaged all day. His lovely nature and way with the children was welcomed by the children and the staff alike. We will definitely be booking again in the future and will highly recommend you. Please pass this on to whoever needs to know and be sure to tell Obbi that I have emailed you singing his praises. I did tell him and we hugged at the end and all the children have had a ball.”

“ I really don't know where to start... We have had the most amazing day with James today for your circus day. James was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, he was just faultless. The children were engaged from the minute they sat down, right up until the end of the day when we came back together for our show. The way James engaged with the children was perfect, as well as his explanations of how to use the equipment being clear and concise. I have had 12 emails from parents this evening telling me how their children have come home today saying how much fun they had and how good the day was. We even had a comment of 'Today has been the best day ever, I just haven't stopped smiling!’ I really don't know what else to say other than I couldn't rate the company and James any more highly. I will definitely be booking you again in future and I will be sure to pass your information on to as many schools as I can! Thank you SO much for making 60 children, very happy today!“

“Circus Sensible were amazing and I would thoroughly recommend booking them for your school. We will certainly be booking again. All the children were fully engaged and took a full and active part in the sessions. We have many children with special educational needs and Obby was amazing with each and every one of them. All of the children were talking about their experience for days.”

“ 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”

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.
