One child's comment: "The circus skills were amazing. The man taught us lots of tricks! I liked balancing the peacock feather on my hand!"- Mrs Nair

Nick Putts provided a couple of fantastic sessions for children aged between 4 and 11, all of them had a great time trying out the huge range of equipment from the tightrope to unicycles, and stilts. A few of the grown ups had a go too! A perfect activity for our summer BBQ!- Caroline Hunt

Excellent! I found staff professional, well organised & very enthusiastic. The students had a great day & were able to learn exciting skills. Were it not for the cost implications to our budget - understandable though they are - we would have you back many times. As it is we look forwartd to working with you in the future. Thanks also for re-creating Covent Garden in the playground at lunch.- Jamie Peston, Teacher

Excellent. Good safety talk. Great equipment and demos. The Yr3's really enjoyed it and very suitable.- Chris Love

good feedback from all the students.- Keith Cockerton, assistant cordinator

It was a fantastic session and the pupils had the time of their life!- Denise Priestly

Our Chidren found the workshop challenging and fun. It helped provide a stimulus for future work.
Our only complaint was that is wasn't long enough!- Margaret Woodley

We invited circus skills to come to our school to spend 50 minutes with each of our year 7 classes, and one session with ten students from all years. it was a fantastic day, all the students were engaged and challenged. The lesson pace was excellent. To really get the most out of the session it is good to have a person there all day to help on a balancing activity. Our school had our ssco there all day helping which freed up the instructor to add another exiting activity. I definatly recommend shooting stars circus skills!- Vivki Garrett

Valerie Hudson “Excellent! Very professional & reliable. Would book again.”- Valerie Hudson

(2001) “We all had a great time, enjoyed by all – children, staff & parents. The skills involved were a great challenge, taken up by the children and worked upon with great vigour, until they achieved success. It was a pleasure to see so many smiling faces, interacting and generally having such a good time. My thanks to Steve & Jackie for providing such high quality learning through fun activities.”

(2002) “Thanks again, the children loved it! They were able to move on from last year, to further their skills. Next time we must perform it to parents.”

(2004) “We had a week of great fun. The school was full of smiling, excited faces. We ran it along side an Artsweek and the two complimented eachother perfectly. The calm, organized approach by Steve & Jackie is much appreciated and enjoyed by all."- Mr David O’Farrell, Headteacher

We had a fantastic few days and for me this is what education is really about...having fun and creating memories!!- Serena Newstead, Deputy Headteacher

Great value day for the whole school, kids are still talking about it and we have now introduced it into our PE curriculum.- Steve Lupton

Please can you pass on our thanks to Jebb for all his hard work when he came into our school on Tuesday and Wednesday this week to teach our children so many different circus skills.

He was absolutely fantastic with the children and enabled them to learn so much as well as having lots of fun. We would certainly recommend him and your company to the schools within Wandsworth and hopefully we will be able to invite him back on many more occasions. All the children have spoke highly of him and want to know when he will be back!! Could you also let him know that he has left the feathers here and will assume he will want to pick them up at some point.

Many thanks again and we hope to work with your company and Jebb again in the near future.- Samantha Colburn, Teacher

Excellent!!!!!!!!- Sam Colburn, Assistant Headteacher

Year 3: Excellent - more please, really great, kids loved it, great photos of active kids.

Year 4: Brilliant, everyone learnt a new skill. Can staff have a go please! Great fun.

Year 5: 'Serious! Quality! Wicked! the best thing we've done in school'

Year 6: Unique experience - you made it seem so easy - great variety. - Miss Butcher

“Thoroughly enjoyed by all, though a few raised eyebrows from senior management. We hope to start our own after-school club next week.”- Dr Irena Cholij, Teacher

It would be great if you could provide a teaching resource. Even something as simple as a DVD of skills would be great. Teachers often go to training days and want to take it back to school. They may do a whole school teacher inset themselves which they could use your resources for. They also may have a gap between the training and their delivery of the circus skills activities in school so resource cards or a DVD can help to refresh their mind. - Carly Owen, Partnership Development Manager

The children (and staff!) thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our instructor, Jebb was Enthusiastic and encouraging. He made the day really interesting. The children got to try new activities and kearn new skills. We wouldnt hesitate to book further workshops with you.
All the children were included and the whole day was fun, energetic AND educational. Many thanks! We had a great day.- Nicky Johnson
