Jon was fantastic he was able to hold the attention of even the youngest children the whole time, and teachers were able to relax and enjoy the show and workshop. There were activities that all ages of children could try.” - Fiona, Kadampa Primary School, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire
“WOW, what amazing day we had from start to finish. Jon, Neil and Rosie arrived on time and were amazing. The children absolutely loved them and the warm bubbly personalities.
The feedback we have had from children, staff and parents has been outstanding. with one child saying " This was the best day of his life and he will never forget it"
Thank you so much we will be booking you again.” - Alan Mulholland, Wharton Primary School, Winsford, Cheshire.
“Pete and Gary that came to school today were fantastic! Professional, flexible, funny and extremely talented they engaged children and adults alike and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day as well as learned to do something new.
I will be highly recommending Circus Sensible to colleagues.” - Louise Keenan, St. Bede’s Primary, County Durham
“Thank you for being so flexible throughout the day from set up to break down (quite literally!!!) and just doing what was needed. The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did the adults - especially the juggling lawyer!
I loved the fact that 'I can't' just wasn't allowed and the grown ups were encouraged to push their own boundaries as an example to the kids- well done! Who knew I could hula!!!!!!” Andra Patterson, Godstowe Rocks.
“I wanted to say a very big thanks to the incredibly lovely circus men that came and worked tirelessly all day Saturday and were then thanked with a torrential downpour to pack up in.
They were all amazing, the children and parents absolutely loved the three performances and thought the stilt walker was the bees knees.
Please do pass on our thanks to the four lovely circus chaps who came on Saturday. They were truly brilliant.” - Tiggey May, Coldfall Primary, London.
“Just to thank you for an AMAZING circus day yesterday. The children and staff had a fantastic time. Jon pitched the workshop really well and he had a great rapport with the children. The activities fully supported our IPC curriculum and our most recent circus unit. What I really liked was how every child was included regardless of ability and they had the opportunity to perform and master a circus skill. For some children this was a real confidence boost. The enjoyment and buzz around school throughout the day was inspiring. Also.. for the staff being able to dress up as clowns for the day was an added bonus! I will definitely recommend you to other schools.
Thanks again” - Jill Ashmore, SS Simon and Jude CEPS, Great Lever, Bolton
Hi there Clive,
Well....all the staff and I from Horndean Infants is say WOW!
Adults and children have had the most fun filled, perfect day with the A team (Kyle, Obby and Richie) today. At 6.30 am,when I met them at school, it was obviously early (for me) and pouring with rain..... But that did not stop the energy of all 3 of them from the word go! I did my bit, making them hot drinks as they pitched the tent in good spirits in the heavy rain - I knew from then that this was going to be a day to remember!
At 9am the whole school, dressed as circus characters watched the hilarious show (piched perfectly for the age of the children) and this inspired the children's writing and art work for the rest of the day back in the classroom.
The workshops throughout the daywere fast paced and enjoyable, building on children's resilience and personal and social skills.All we could have asked for was more!
We then asked if we could have a second performance to close the day as the morning had been so amazing and again, there was no hesitation - the guys were so willing and genuinely wanted to make the day special for each and every child!
We all left school with huge smiles today, all thanks to 'Circus Sensible'.... We cannot thank you enough and will definately be asking you back again in future years - if you will have us that is!
We would all recommend you to other schools too.
For us, this was the perfect end to a hard working year by both children and adults alike… Many thanks - Elisa Neil and all the staff and children and Horndean Infant School
Dear Clive, I just wanted to say again that the kids had the most fantastic day and can't stop talking about the circus skills they learnt. The activities were catered for their age exactly and they were kept busy the whole time!
Thank you for making the booking process so convenient and easy for us. We would definitely recommend your service to others and look forward to using you again in the future. - Kassandra, Menorah Foundation School, Middlesex
Hello Clive, I just wanted to feedback to you following the workshop last week.
We were really pleased with the workshop. Obby managed the young people really well. As you may be aware we are a fostering organisation so all of the young people in attendance are currently living with Foster Parents. They can be challenging at times and when together in a group this can heighten the behaviours they exhibit.
Obby showed the young people how to use all the different equipment clearly and with humour. He spent time with those that struggled and encouraged them when necessary. He was able to sense when to move things along and made sure that everyone felt included, even staff!
At the end of the day, young people had the opportunity to show Foster Parents what they had learnt which was lovely to see.
I hope that we can offer this workshop again in the future.
Thanks again. Lisa Moreno, By the Bridge, Bridge of Don, Scotland (Circus Skills workshops.)
As a part of our reward structure, we invited your circus in. The organisation was excellent and over 600 students were completely gripped by your antics! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other high schools. Brilliant! - Sian Hughes, Haywood Academy, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (A day with our 'baby' Big Top)
Just wanted to let you know what a fabulous day we had here at The Oval School on Wednesday. Everyone really enjoyed the shows and the workshops and we would like to say a huge thank you to Harry, Steve and Jonathon for all their hard work on the day they were great!! - Lesley Evans, The Oval School, Birmingham
Our Circus Sensible day was wonderful. The children were totally engaged in all the activities. The staff had fun too, two of us learning to hoopla hoop at fifty plus! We have used the day to inspire storytelling based on a circus theme and many of the activities we did have been mentioned in the stories. It was a truly memorable day. Keep up the good work!
Dear Clive, Just wanted to thank you for the great programme that Obby ran for us tonight. It was a great success – we had lots of good feedback from those attended.
Obby was fantastic with both the kids and the adults – he inspired a sense of fun and humour which helped to make it an evening the community will remember for many years!
Best wishes - Rabbi Alan Garber, Shenley United Jewish Community, Hertfordshire.
Dear all at Circus Sensible,
Thank you so much for such a fun filled day! All of the children really enjoyed the workshops and our visitor James was brilliant! The children are still chanting "James Sensible" down the corridors! James was extremely engaging and all involved were really impressed by him. Thanks again for your expertise! Will definitely recommend the company! - Charlotte Harvey, Lakenheath Primary school, Suffolk
Hi Clive,
Just wanted to let you know what a brilliant day we had with John Sensible on Tuesday. The children were fascinated from the moment they saw John.
The children loved the performance and have a fab time practicing circus skills. Even the teachers learnt a few new tricks!!!
Fun had by everyone - Louise Goodison, Greswell School, Denton, Tameside
I just want to say a very big thankyou for the excellent day of circus skills that you provided for our year 3/4 children today. The organisation and timimg of the day was smooth and appropriate. The activities that you provided were enjoyed fully by all of the children (and teachers!). As one of their teachers, I recognised that you brought out confidence and motivation in all of the children and at all times you were in control of their behaviour and their learning. Your rapport with the children was lovely to watch.
The children thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities including juggling, plate spinning and feather balancing. It was also great that they had the opportunity to have a go at other activities too.
I would highly recommend you and I have passed your details to one of our senior leaders for future events. - Cath Lawton
St Gregory's Catholic Academy, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire
‘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’ - Cheryl Tracy
Monmouthshire Housing Association
'Just wanted to say a massive thank you for coming to provide the circus skills workshops for our summer school. Once again, it has gone down a treat and we will certainly be booking again next year if we get the funding.
Obviously, I will promote you guys as and when I can to others that I come into contact with.
Thanks again' - Adey Greaves

Hi Clive, thank you so much for yesterday. The children all had a fantastic time. It was lovely to see even the quietest of pupils become so animated and involved in your sessions. Also it was interesting to watch the 'cool' Year 6's drop their guards and throw themselves into the activities with such gusto! - Helen Courtney, Aldford Primary School, Chester.
Hi Clive, many thanks for coming over to Kelsall. It really was an excellent evening inspiring both the young people (and the leaders) with a great range of stuff to do. We all really appreciated the way you introduced each activity and got the young people engaged in having a go at something new. I know it has resulted in an outbreak of juggling in a number of households round the village. Many thanks and hope to catch up with you again soon. - Daniel Gaskarth, Kelsall Youth Club, Chester, Cheshire.
Hi Clive, I just wanted to say thank you for sending such inspiring tutors for the workshops at the school. We completed a pupil evaluation of the day and it was overwhelmingly positive - needless to say we will be booking you again next year. Thank you so much!
- Tanwen Fisk Spalding High, Lincolnshire.

Your contribution helped us to achieve so much and ensure the children and their carers who attended the party had a wonderful time. We are very grateful for your support and hope we work with you in the future.
- Glenda Shiner, Chairman of Variety at Work.
Just a quick email to say a huge thank-you for the fantastic day provided by Circus Sensible. Quite simply, in the two weeks of various agencies providing activities at our summer school, your company has provided the gold standard by which all other agencies that work in school should be judged!
- Roger Boulton, University Academy, Birkenhead
Thank you so very much for a wonderful day and evening at St Paul's Primary School in Hereford. The children had a truly wonderful day and have been buzzing about it ever since. Please do pass our sincere thanks to the rest of your team; it was a real pleasure to have you all here for the day. I hope we will be in touch in the future for another booking.
