St. Catherine’s School, Swindon

"Just wanted you to know what an amazing day both children and adults had on Wednesday, even with their embarrassments! The children came back to class animated and there was a definite buzz about circuses, from both boys and girls. The peacock feathers are definitely a hit. The adults enjoyed the difference of the activity and the obvious exhilaration the children experienced. Check out our website for photos www.st-catherines.org Thank you again for your time and the lovely rapport you developed with the children.“

Orchid Vale Primary, Swindon

" We would like to take this opportunity to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed your visit last week. The children had a wonderful experience. It was a shear joy to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about the event. They developed some new skills and the workshops fitted in beautifully with our themed circus week and value of the month, co-operation. The children will doubtless remember their experience for many a year to come. We look forward to working with you again”

Malmesbury School, Chippenham,

" Tom from circus sensible spent two days in our school. The circus skills session was their favorite part of summer school. The students not only learnt new skills and talents, they learnt about perseverance, resilience and had fun. The staff even got stuck in and enjoyed themselves. Booking and communication has been excellent. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend."

Royal Wootton Bassett Academy, Wiltshire

I've just about recovered from the organising of the Fair and Circus. I wanted to let you know how fantastic the Circus was received by children and adults. We really enjoyed having John and Ollie and they made the day very special indeed. We also raised more money than we have ever done before and would dearly love to book you again for a future event."- Alison Horn,

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.

Circus Sensible have been providing Circus Skills Workshops in Schools, and Circus Days in Schools, Big top hire, Corporate entertainment etc. in Swindon and the whole of the UK including Big top Days in schools since 1987!
