Green Lane School, Worcester Park

“Circus sensible was fab! Callum was with us both days and really caught the children's attention. He presented the different skills in a fun and interactive way and the children really loved the demo to the whole school first. It allowed them to see what they were aiming for! Callum made sure any keen circus children were pushed to a higher skill level during his workshop, as well as nurturing those that found it hard or were unsure. Big thumbs up from Green Lane, see you guys again next year!”

Thames Valley Air Ambulance

“ A massive thank you from all the team at Thames Valley Air Ambulance for coming to our Big Birthday Bash last weekend. Your team were excellent and we’re grateful for their support. We heard from some parents they couldn’t get the kids away from the circus tent!”

Malden Parochial CofE Primary, London

“ Circus Sensible visited out school in May for a fundraising day, performing two shows. The team were very friendly, funny and talented and kept the children engaged for both the hour long shows - everyone had a massive smile throughout! They also showcased skills prior to and after each show which people of all ages were able to enjoy. Thank you to the team for an amazing day and for your support and communication throughout the booking process!”

" I would like to say a huge thank you to you for organising the Circus Sensible workshop. Mr Obby was absolutely superb and had the students engaged and participating from the minute he walked in. As an SEMH school I cannot thank you enough for giving the students an incredible experience. Please send the invoice through to me and I will arrange for the finance department to send you a new supplier form. We will definitely be requesting your services again during the summer term."

Burial School, Walton on Thames

"These guys were absolutely amazing. From the first time I spoke to them, to the performance on the day - they were brilliant!. Can't recommend them enough."

Maltman's Green School, Gerrard’s Cross

“ We wanted to pass on our thanks to you and your performer for providing such a fantastic experience yesterday. The performer was absolutely lovely and created the perfect atmosphere, engaging all the girls and boys (and some keen grown ups!) in a well-chosen range of activities and skills. She arrived on time, kept the area safe and tidy at all times and worked so beautifully with the children that she made a real impression on us with her professionalism and friendliness. Thank you for such smooth administrative support. We are sure that we will use your services again.”

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.
