  • Recent research has proven the benefits of circus skills in Educational Programmes. It has been successfully used as an educational tool, and has been used therapeutically with children at risk.

    Circus skills can enable pupils to discover within themselves the skills which can provide all kinds of creative solutions. Skills such as concentration, retention, conceptual understanding and self-awareness, which can be transferred to a social setting and applied to more conventional learning situations in the core subjects.

    Over the last nineteen years, we have taken our 'Circus Skills Workshops' to schools, leisure centres, youth groups, play schemes, colleges, carnivals, fetes, and special promotions around the country. The workshop consists of a circus instructor and circus equipment.

    What are the benefits of children learning outside of the classroom:

    • Cross curricular education
    • Instills enthusiasm to continue learning
    • Reinforces positive learning
    • Creative thinking
    • Unlimited possibilities & opportunities
    • Self Confidence
    • Social & Personal Development
    • Kinaesthetic Learning
    • Inclusive physical education
    • Learning to learn
    • Language skills
    • Self-esteem and self-awareness

    Pupils recall the 'Circus Week' with great pleasure. They learnt different skills, which boosted their confidence and self-esteem. The curriculum is extremely well enriched through the very wide range of clubs, visits, visitors and events, which further widen children's horizons and contribute to their personal and social development.

    Blue Peter Appearance

    We had the pleasure of teaching Andy Akinwolere, from Blue Peter, how to ride a unicycle. We had such a fun time and he was a good pupil!

    It was broadcast on 15/01/2008, but if you missed it then you can see it again here.

    Our brownies had a fabulous time at your circus skills workshop. It was especially wonderful to see those with less self esteem really coming out of themselves and having so much fun. - Rebecca Webb

    Steve and Jacqui were once again outstanding and made a real impact on both the children and staff. Our Deputy Headteacher who has been teaching at Upton Noble for 23 1/2 years said that it was one of the best things she had ever been involved in. Thank you and really hope to see you again soon. - Mark Solomon

    Circus Fun day
    If I was asked to organise anothe event like this I would definatley use Shooting Stars again. It would have been nice for the students to have had a little more time learning skills however I appreciate that this was not possible due to time constraints. Both instructors were fun and enthusiastic and interacted well with the students. A very enjoyable day. - Andy Parker
