St Julian’s Primary, Newport

“Great communication from the start and Circus Sensible managed to fit us in last minute. This was such a treat for the children and they loved the workshops where they were taught how to use the variety of circus props. Alan had a knack of encouraging them to ‘just have a go’ and their faces lit up when they mastered a technique - a great confidence boost! Thank you for a such great day!”

St Winefrides, Holywell

“ My Year 1/2 class had an amazing Circus Skills workshop. Steve was absolutely brilliant with the children and children and staff laughed all day. They learnt a variety of skills and had a variety of equipment to use and they were taught how to use them and enjoyed having ample time to practice and play. There was Circus music on whilst they did some of their activities and opportunities for them to work alone, in pairs and in groups. It was an amazing 'Sparkly Start' to our topic. Very glad I booked it for my class.”

Gwladys Street Primary, Mold

"Again I would just like to thank your company for the great work you do with the children. Our Year 2 entry point to our circus themed topic was fantastic today because of the skills Neil taught them. All our children and staff had a great day. I look forward to working with you again in the future”

" The guys at Circus Sensible were fantastic! At both our workshops their encouragement and enthusiasm was infectious with children and parents of all ages getting involved. They had the right amount of comedy and interaction that kept even the youngest of children engaged, from balancing feathers to spinning plates it was great to see everyone having an amazing time, losing inhibitions, gaining confidence and learning new skills’ "

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.
