“I just wanted to say what a fantastic day we had last Thursday in school with Jon.
From 9-3 he had the children laughing and completely engrossed. He was fantastic with all of the children and they thoroughly enjoyed their day (along with the teachers and support staff!) His enthusiastic demeanour and patience with the children was lovely. It was so lovely to watch all children no matter their ability have a go and want to have a go! It was a great way to see other children shine, especially those who often struggle academically. Everyday the children are talking about their circus skills and Jon! The enjoyed it so much we even had feedback from parents saying how the children loved it so much they talked about it all night and some even added spinning plates onto their Christmas lists, which just shows how inspired the children were. Thank you again, we will definitely be having Circus Sensible back in our school!" - Katie, St Anne's Catholic Primary School, Huyton. - Circus Workshops
“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.
“Many thanks to Richie & Jamie for braving the wind and the rain for us last week. Their presence at our festival brings a smile to everyone’s faces, especially the children.” - Ed Newsom, Henleaze Christmas Festival, Bristol.
“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
'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.
'I would like to say a great big thank you to Jon, Neil and Gary for a fantastic three days. Not only did they entertain our pupils (and staff) but actively involved them in developing a range of circus skills. The performances and workshops fully supported our creative curriculum making learning fun and exciting. The positive relationships they made with all our pupils could clearly be seen on faces, so many happy, smiling, giggling, laughing ones. We have personally recommended Circus Sensible to other special schools in the borough.'

Wow! Where to start, would like to thank you for organising the visit to Pinkwell. Teachers and kids loved the whole day. No matter what the weather was like when we were in the tent we were in a whole new place.
The three guys that came were absolutely brilliant. It was so well organised and no hassle at all. One child left school saying "that was the best day of my life" i have some photos you could use, will send after easter break.
I cant wait till next year when i can book circus sensible again! Christine, Pinkwell School, Hayes, London.
"The workshops were excellent and gave a real fun, feel-good atmosphere to the event. I was concerned that with hundreds of children attending it would not be possible for them all to have a go in the short time we had allocated, but the performers brought so much equipment and dealt with the children so well that all the children had a wonderful time. Thank you!” - Daniel Sturgess, Sinai School, Brent, London. Circus Skills Workshops
The children had a wonderful day. Obby was professional at all times. He taught the different groups of children different skills and put on a show for year 5.
I would highly recommend your company to another school. Thank you again - Nicole Fontaine, George Tomlinson School, Leytonstone.
Hi Clive
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
Just to say thank you so much for today. I was not able to attend ( as I work in another local school ) but the sight of the big top in the field as we came into school today was fantastic and the children were so excited ! They were positively buzzing when I went to pick them up this afternoon. The staff and children I spoke to were absolutely thrilled with the day and had so much fun so thank you so much - Sally, Park Road School, Timperley, Cheshire.
'Just wanted to say what a FANTASTIC day we have had today. I have never seen so many smiles on the children's faces for the whole day. Every child from our Nursery children to Year 6 (and the adults), have had a brilliant day. We wish we could have had longer!!! James was simple brilliant from start to finish and the kids LOVED him. We couldn't have asked for someone better!! In fact one of our younger children came up to me at lunchtime and shouted at me 'this is the BEST DAY EVER!!!’’ - Katy Aggus, Arnbrook Primary School, Nottingham. A day of Circus Skills Workshops.
Two amazing gentlemen, 1 amazing day. Thank you. They were brilliant with each and every class. They did more than just teach they entertained, inspired and went ‘above and beyond’. Please pass on my thanks and praise. (and gave me tips on better unicycling!) - Ian Kendal - St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Hertford, Hertfordshire
What a fabulous day! The children (and staff) really enjoyed themselves and there was nothing but positive feedback.
Will definitely be booking again in the future. - Carly Simmonds, Circus Writing Day, Little Reddings Primary School, Bushey Herts.
Dear Clive, We would like to take this opportunity to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed your visit last week. The children had a wonderful experience. It was a shear joy to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about the event. They developed some new skills and the workshops fitted in beautifully with our themed circus week and value of the month, co-operation. The children will doubtless remember their experience for many a year to come.
We look forward to working with you again. Yours sincerely - Tracey Heath, Orchid Vale Primary, Swindon, Wiltshire

Mr Sensible was fantastic. The children were captivated and found his show amazing and hilarious! His methods of teaching the basics of scarf juggling and feather balancing ensured that all children succeeded and were engaged. The variety of equipment he brought was vast and the children really enjoyed the opportunity to try so many different skills. A brilliant morning - thank you! - Jamie Chadwick, Boarshaw Primary School, Rochdale, Lancashire.
Hi Clive, Just to say a huge thank you for organising such a FANTASTIC experience for our year 5 and 6 children this week. We are keen for them to share some of their skills with the rest of the school and parents at our end of year production. Many thanks - Teresa Wheeler, Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, Yeovil, Somerset.
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!
