Testimonials

“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.” Ruth, Littlemoor Primary School, Oldham.

“They really were a breath of fresh air and their energy, enthusiasm was boundless and the audience from our littlest right through to the teachers just thought it was superb and pitched just perfectly" - Lisa Lister, Hilden Oaks School, Tonbridge, Kent

"We absolutely loved the circus skills day! Pete was amazing and was so flexible with the day to ensure all of our children managed to get the best of every workshop. Our staff loved it too - we all learnt something new and the children loved the fact that they could something better than us! The workshops inspired our writing for the week and we have had some amazing circus-themed stories, diaries and instructions. Thank you so much to Circus Sensible for a fantastic day!" - Kim Parkinson, writing lead at Moston Lane Primary School, Manchester.

"We were let down at last minute by another provider, and Sensible Circus stepped in, and gave us a reduced price too! A great afternoon had by all - very entertaining. Thank you so much!! Will definitely use again." - Alison Chisholm, JNR8 Play Scheme, Whalley Range, Manchester

"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” - SS Simon and Jude CEPS, Great Lever, Bolton, Lancashire - Circus Workshops

“We had a great day - 😊
All staff were impressed with Steve and his ability to work with all ages 3-7 years. He was fun, polite, happy and clearly loves his job. It is a great to see someone who can work with the little ones and get down to their level of learning. Thank you so much again.” - Cara Duppa, St Leonard's CE Primary School, Bridgnorth, Shropshire.

"Hi Clive, Just wanted to say a massive thank you from all of us here. The week was a brilliant success; the children learnt so much and loved every minute and the staff had a great time too. We received lots of positive feedback from parents and I would definitely recommend you to other schools. My class wanted to make you some thank you cards and I've posted them, so hopefully you've received them or will do soon. I'm sure you'll treasure them always! Best wishes to you and Obby, Tim, Fe and Kyle." - Katie Foster, Grayshott School, Hampshire

“OMG!! What a day!! Kyle, Obby and Neil were absolutely AMAZING. We all had such a ball and I haven’t laughed that much in ages. The kids had a brilliant day, every single one of them was smiling. Your guys were such a friendly bunch and very professional. They turned up when they said they would and were brilliant with the kids all day. Thank you so, so much!!” - Fay McCombie, St Lawrence CE Primary, Napton-on-the-Hill, Warwickshire. A Day with our ‘baby’ Big Top.

“Just wanted to say how wonderful The Big Top and all your team worked for us on Saturday at Muncaster Castle. All our children and families had an amazing day and absolutely loved the Big Top and everything that went with it. Once again, thank you a million” - Maria Moseley, When You Wish Upon A Star, Stockport, Cheshire

"A massive thank you for slotting us in for Friday on such notice. Everyone had a great time. All the acts were fabulous and great fun, enjoyed by both the students and staff. Staff were still talking about it today. Please pass my thanks on to the guys. Thank you once again” - Sania Maryam, Penn School, Buckinghamshire.

“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! From the start of the booking to the finish today the service has been nothing short of exemplary and I am already looking for the opportunity to book this again.” - Roger Boulton, University Academy, Birkenhead

“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.”
- Debbie Aldread Assistant Headteacher, Pilsley Primary
