“ It’s a rare and joyful sight - a large circus tent containing a school full of children and staff overcome with laughter. It was irresistibly funny. The circus performers really understood our sense of humour – and the audience participation was exceptionally enthusiastic – from all ages. Wooburn Green Primary School was the place to be on (last) Tuesday morning. Genuinely the best laugh I have had for a very long time.”
Here are just a few of the lovely things people have said about us over the years.

“Circus Sensible were absolutely brilliant. All of the children (and staff!) in school had such an amazing time with Jay. The demonstrations were fantastic, and Jay ensured that each workshop was tailored to meet the needs of the children from Nursery through to Year 6. Thank you Circus Sensible, we hope to see you again soon!”
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!”
Ukrainian Cultural Centre, Rochdale
“ Great afternoon of fun for children & some adults. Steve did a great job keeping everyone entertained.”
St Polycarps, Gloucestershire
“ Circus sensible were amazing. We had no idea what we wanted from them, they helped us understand how to best use them in the time that we had to create a special experience for maximum children at our Summer Fair. For three hours solid the Artist conducted fun engaging workshops. The children were then able to practice their own skills. It was all very achievable and exciting Everyone had a great time. We had 35 children a workshop there was no shortage of kit, and a great variety. Stilt talking plate spinning, and loads more. We were very happy but more importantly the children loved it.”
Outwood Grange Academy Wakefield
“We had Pete come and run 2 sessions for us for 60 students. The students had a fabulous day. They learnt lots of new skills and had fun along the way.

We really enjoyed the whole day and would definitely recommend Team Sensible to anyone looking for a fun group event.”
Lady Barn House School, Cheadle
" Can I just say what an amazing day we have had! Obbi was amazing and has kept the children engaged all day.

Please pass this on to whoever needs to know and be sure to tell Obbi that I have emailed you singing his praises. I did tell him and we hugged at the end and all the children have had a ball."
Aldford Primary, Chester.
"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! "
By the Bridge, Scotland
"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"
RAF Cosford, Wolverhampton

“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!!!!!!”

As you said they really worked round us and enabled the day to be relaxed and fun. These days are always hard on the parents - really mixed emotions, but the two guys kept things moving along for the children and got everyone involved. I think it was a really positive day. You may have new recruit to help with your annual festival in Scotland. Shuna, one of our play therapists does circus skills too and was chatting to Jon and Kyle. Great how these days pan out....... Thanks again"

Each time they have been brilliant, great with the children, thoroughly entertaining, everyone always takes part, even the adults! It's great how they start off with easy, manageable tricks to build confidence to then work on more difficult skills. It is all done with humour and fun and makes for a really great time for everyone present. They bring a huge amount of equipment so everyone can have a go at everything. Easy to book and totally reliable, I can't praise them enough!"

"We had an absolutely fantastic time last Thursday. The children loved the experience, they thought all of Kat's tricks were amazing and enjoyed learning new circus skills. The teachers thought very highly of Kat's whole school performance, particularly the light show which was simply mesmerising. The parents all enjoyed watching the children perform - thank you to Kat for supporting us ( and being very accommodating!) in the circus show for parents that afternoon - which was a great success! Many teachers came to me to tell me how much they enjoyed it and how it was a great idea - so im sure there will be lots of interest for Circus Sensible in the future. A truly authentic circus experience.Delighted with Circus Sensible. Kat was brilliant, she has such a lovely way with the children and they enjoyed working with her! She has such great enthusiasm. Kat is very nurturing, caring and always smiling, perfect qualities for working with our children. Biggest of thank you's from all of the children at Raploch Primary Kat - you were a star!"

The big top made a fantastic centre piece to the fete. The shows & workshops kept the crowds entertained throughout the day. The balloon modelling was also a big hit too, nearly everyone had a fish or alien tucked under their arm as they left. The weather was perfect & your team really entertained everyone & didn't stop until the very end. Everyone left smiling & laughing & we raised a few pounds for our PTA funds too! Thank you Circus Sensible I would recommend you to anyone & would certainly have you back again"

Finally, many thanks for allowing us to use the Big Top in the evening. Some live music in the big top was absolutely brilliant for the parents to enjoy too.

Your manner with the children was excellent, being funny, amusing and making the children strive for excellence. This has been one of the best days that the children have ever had (according to them- I can’t understand why they prefer your lessons rather than the literacy or maths lessons that I teach) Anyway, I have to say i have never laughed so much or been so proud of my bunch of children. They cannot stop talking about it"

They were great with the children and staff from the start to the end of the day. We laughed, cried {at some of there bad jokes} but loved the whole experience. The show they put on at the beginning was brilliant and enjoyed by all. They then taught the children a whole range of skills and learnt every childs name by the end of the day! We had a parent show at 2pm {our first experience of inviting parents to a school event for 18 months!} and the turn out was incredible. All parents and grandparents joined in working with the children and the performance lasted about 80 minutes! The feedback from parents was just so good and my staff had one of the best days they have ever had!

"Just a brief letter to say thank you for the input of your team into Activity Week at Bishop Heber. Could you please pass on our sincere thanks to Neil, who did an absolutely amazing job of both entertaining and instructing the pupils (and Staff!!) with his Circus Skills workshops on Monday. The Year 9 pupils involved in the workshops really enjoyed themselves and took away some great memories of the day. They learnt some valuable and useful lessons and can hopefully put these to productive use in the future. There were very many positive feedback comments about the day, both from pupils and staff, who also enjoyed the activities. Once again, thank you to you and Neil for your time and enthusiasm and we hope that you can be involved again in future years"

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!

Tenants First Housing Coop, Peterhead
"Clive, just a quick note to thank you and Duncan again. Duncan arrived early, was a charming and warm man who worked and worked and worked until the very last minute of his allotted time. The energy and effort he put into his performance was impressive and despite having children clambering all over him, getting in his way and demanding everything and anything from him, he remained calm, happy and responsive for the entire duration. I was immensely impressed! I was also immensely grateful to both of you for responding with such efficient grace at my late/last minute reversals & changes. The event was a great success in no small part to Duncan's presence! Thank you so much & if you would like any kind of formal testimonial for your website or other clients, I would be delighted to oblige"

"I don't think I ever got around to thanking you for providing Jay to entertain us and our guests at our wedding last september. His mix of abilities was perfect for our day, and every one enjoyed his tricks and circus skills. I even managed to sneak away from the crowds for half an hour towards the end of his time and finally learnt some of the basics of contact juggling.And as a warning to other potential brides; my husband made himself a balloon hat and proceeded to wear it for the rest of the day, speeches and all. Be prepared for this eventuality! "
"Hi Clive, we just wanted to say a huge big thank you for yesterday. The children loved Obby ( sorry if spelt incorrectly) and he was really engaging and patient with us all.

Like I said, it ran really smoothly and will certainly recommend you guys as well as exploring using you again in the future.”
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.”
Littlemoor Primary, Oldham
“Jon was brilliant and the workshop was amazing. The students really engaged with him and his energy was great! The students loved it especially the balancing feather part they are still talking about this today. All students were completely engaged and most of them showed off a skill and stood up in front of their peers which is amazing for them.”

"Just wanted you to know what an amazing day both children and adults had on Wednesday, even with their embarrassments! 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. Check out our website for photos www.st-catherines.org Thank you again for your time and the lovely rapport you developed with the children. Take care and enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend, fingers crossed for the weather! Weren’t we lucky! "

You were fantastic with the children you had a tone that kept them involved but allowed them to have fun. You had their respect from the beginning. The best night in ages! Thank you and we hope to see you again soon"
Pilsley Primary, Chesterfield
"Just a short note to say just how much the children in my class have enjoyed the event. Many of the children overcame difficulties such as balance and co-ordination to achieve success. Your manner with the children was excellent, being funny, amusing and making the children strive for excellence. This has been one of the best days that the children have ever had (according to them- I can’t understand why they prefer your lessons rather than the literacy or maths lessons that I teach) Anyway, I have to say i have never laughed so much or been so proud of my bunch of children. They cannot stop talking about it"
Kelsall Youth Club, Chester
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"

"I would like to thank both Juan and yourself for a fantastic circus experience at our school. Despite appalling weather, Juan arrived and gave us an awesome demonstration to the school, before engaging in workshops all day. The sessions were well resourced and matched to all children's ability and confidence levels. His instructions and demonstrations made it really easy for everyone to understand and it was great to hear many children shout "Miss, I did it!" Thank you for a great experience, our school wouldn't hesitate to book you in the future and recommend you to other local schools"
