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.
Thank you again it was a wonderful day.

CIRCUS WORKSHOPS IN SCHOOLS
Recent Scientific research has shown the value of Circus 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.

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.
Circus skills workshops in schools 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.

Why book Circus Sensible for your event? Book us with one of our Beautiful Circus Tents and that alone will make your event into something much more special. If we take our Big Top into your School for a day of shows and circus skills workshops, just watch the children’s faces as they see the tent on the school field as they arrive. Have a look at our web pages and videos to get an idea of the difference we make. Also, circus skills offer a huge range of benefits to children and adults of all ages and abilities.
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 workshops in schools also include time for the participants to demonstrate the circus skills they have been learning.

Many of our circus workshops in schools 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 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.
Learning Circus skills also offers great benefits in terms of physical co-ordination and physical fitness.
Circus workshops in schools 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 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 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 and Magic workshops.

Hi Papa Clive and all of Circus Sensible. Thank you all so much for visiting us at Lent Rise School in Burnham on April 27th. Despite the weathers attempts to thwart the day, everyone had a great time and we have received many compliments on your shows! Thank you for helping make the schools 40th Birthday a huge success!! We hope to see you again in the future! Kindest regards to all - Lisa Pope, Lent Rise School, Buckinghamshire.
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.
Dear Clive, On behalf of the Variety At Work Committee, we would like to sincerely thank you for attending our Big Top party!

Circus Sensible provided a FANTASTIC week long contribution to Girlguiding Wirral's Centenary Celebrations. Stilt walkers, interactive dance, drumming workshops, circus shows and skills, they provided workshops so the girls could be involved in the opening ceremony and they provided the most fantastic fire show for our closing. They provided the carnival atmosphere they promised. They surpassed our expectations and that of many of our leaders and girls and we could not recommend them highly enough. Can't wait to have another event we can use them for! THANKYOU PapaClive & Crew!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Linda Smallthwaite, Wirral Girl Guides.
I have used circus sensible for a number of years at the Wirral Food and Drink Festival and each year they deliver a fantastic service. The tent and gear is new and always clean, they work tirelessly over our two day event to deliver entertaining shows and circus workshops to both children and adults. i would happily recommend them for any event wishing to offer great children's entertainment at affordable prices....looking forward to having them back in 2012 with 2 tents,performances,workshops,a stilt walker, balloon modeller and face painter...need i say more??? - Andrew Pimbley, Wirral Food Festival.
Circus Sensible ran a day of circus skills workshops at our Primary school.Clive was wonderful and engaged the children in all key stages. The children really enjoyed the day and gained a lot from their activities, remaining focussed and on task whilst having fun. We would recommend 'Circus Sensible' to anyone thinking of a curriculum enrichment day.
- Milton St. John's School, Tameside.
The show was fantastic and very funny. It is so nice to see a show that the adults can enjoy too!
- A parent, Merridale School, Wolverhampton
It was the best day of my life

A Day with Circus Sensible can be anything from a day of Circus Skills workshops up to Shows, circus skills workshops and Circus shows in one of our Beautiful 'baby' Big Tops. Circus skills include Juggling, Stiltwalking, Plate spinning etc. Shows in our Circus tents can last up to an hour and involve lots of audience participation. Entertaining for all ages. For Circus skills in schools, please see our Circus in schools pages. Our Circus tents are also available for hire, and we can provide Walkabout entertainment in the form of Stiltwalkers, Balloon Modellers, Unicyclists and Jugglers. There's even more though! What about adding on Facepainting, Henna Tattoo, or a pupptet show, a close up magician. If it's not listed here, we can still probably organise it! So, although we specialise in the Circus skills and workshops side of things, anything is possible!
