"Hi Clive, I just wanted to thank you for entertaining us at our Awards. We have had some very positive feedback and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a shame the weather put a dampener on things and I trust that all your party made it home safely. Thank you very much and we hope to work together again in the future”

Chesham Primary School, Bury
“ I wanted to pass on sincere gratitude from the teaching staff and children of our school for making our end of term so fun and enjoyable- even on a wet, grey day in Bury! Andy and Obby were amazing from start to finish, working so hard to ensure we all had a wonderful time: from the amazing shows they performed, to the outstanding kindness, care and patience they showed in teaching our children their amazing circus skills. We were all mesmerised and so many children and staff said how brilliant the day was and how quickly the time flew by! The staff were still talking about it on our WhatsApp group last night and I also received messages of thanks from parent governors of the school, saying how much their children had enjoyed the day. We were all sad to see Andy and Obby leave and feel we have made two new friends.  I cannot thank you all enough for bringing smiles and laughter to our school. We will certainly invite you back to Chesham again in the future! “

Kearsley West, Bolton, Lancashire
" Please forgive me for my terribly delayed e-mail! Just wanted to say a huge thank you to John and Tom for our Circus day on 11/2/20 at Kearsley West Primary School. The children absolutely loved the day and It fit in so well with our circus themed wow week. Both John and Tom were so receptive with the children, and differentiated their activities and work shops so well depending on the children’s ages and interests. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for some circus performers! "

“ I would just like to thank you for sending Tom to us on Saturday. He was fantastic. The teachers and students thought he was amazing. I had a parent tell me that her daughter said it was the best thing she had ever done. I have attached some photos of Saturday. I will of course be using you again as well as recommending you to other Stagecoach Schools “

Boarshaw Primary, Rochdale
" Mr Sensible was fantastic. The children were captivated and found his show amazing and hilarious! His methods of teaching the basics of scarf juggling and feather balacing ensured that all children succeeded and were engaged. The variety of equipment he brought was vast and the children really enjoyed the opportuinity to try so many different skills. A brilliant morning - thank you! "

Brain Training

"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.
