    • “ They did more than just teach they entertained, inspired and went ‘above and beyond “

    • “ It was interesting to watch the 'cool' Year 6's drop their guards and throw themselves into the activities with such gusto! “

    • “ One of our younger children came up to me at lunchtime and shouted at me “this is the BEST DAY EVER!!! “

      • “ The performances and workshops fully supported our creative curriculum making learning fun and exciting “

      • “ Easy to book and totally reliable, I can't praise them enough! “

    "Just wanted you to know what an amazing day both children and adults had on Wednesday.
    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."

    Recent Scientific research has shown the value of Circus Skills and other physical skills in an educational environment. It has been recognised that the core skills which are utilised and developed when we learn and practice a challenging and creative activity such as Circus skills, can then be carried over into the more academic areas of education.

    "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."     BBC News

    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 worked all over the UK and Ireland as well as internationally, with schools, community groups, charities and festivals for over 25 years, during which time we have been lucky enough to develop close working relationships with some of the very best tutors and performers in the industry. As a result we have a highly experienced team, who bring a wealth of cultural, performance and social experience to every aspect of engaging with young people, and teaching them core skills in a safe and encouraging, and above all, fun environment. We can teach not just Circus skills, but we also run Percussion workshops, Dance workshops, Arts and Caricature workshops and lots more Schools workshops in Ireland in a variety of skills.

    Above are just a few examples of venues and events from the last year. We have run Circus skills workshops in well over two thousand Schools over the years, in the UK, Ireland and abroad, and days with our Big Tops at almost as many. Our Circus tents are also available for hire for events in Ireland and the UK, and we can provide many other types of workshops for schools including Drum workshops, Dance workshops and Art workshops.
    We make regular trips to Ireland to visit Schools and Events.

    Circus Skills workshops in Schools are suitable for Nursery, Primary, Secondary Schools and Colleges and can be integrated into many areas of the School curriculum. All our staff are very experienced, have a wide range of Circus and performance skills and have CRB certificates. We have full Public Liability Insurance and can supply Risk Assessments on request. Circus Sensible also run many other workshops in schools, such as Percussion workshops, African Dance workshops, Caricature workshops and Magic workshops. For details of all our Schools workshops please explore our website or send us a message.

    Circus skills workshops in schools offer a huge range of benefits to children and adults of all ages and abilities. Often a Circus workshop in school is the only chance a child will have to have a go at these skills.
    Perhaps the greatest benefit of having a go at Circus skills is that almost anyone can achieve so much in such a short time, giving the participant a great sense of achievement and immediate positive feedback from those around them. This leads to a more positive self image and an increase in self confidence in many children. Many of our circus skills workshops also include time for the participants to demonstrate the circus skills they have been learning.
    Circus skills also 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.
    These are just some of the benefits to be gained from Circus skills workshops. We encourage all these and more whilst always remembering..... CIRCUS SKILLS ARE FUN!

    Circus Sensible have been teaching and performing circus skills in schools and at all sorts of venues all over the UK and Ireland for over 25 years. We have a huge amount of experience in working with many different groups of all ages and abilities.
