excellently pitched workshop. range of ages and abilities catered for with ease and great extension to challenge certain students. thankyou- frances edwards, Teacher

Our One World Week went fantastically well – due in no small part to Kaleigh and Russ and their contribution throughout. They got on famously with children and staff and everyone thoroughly enjoyed working with them and learning from them.
If we are able to hold a similar event in the future I will certainly be in touch with you straight away.- Tim Smith, Teacher

Very soon we will have to start a school circus! The children are reaching such a high standard they could join a circus. Every year the children look forward to the circus skills workshops. Our family learning day means the parents get to have a go too. Without Shooting Stars we would never have had so many dads coming to join in the family learning day. See you next year.- Sally Wright, Deputy Headteacher

Children talk about the workshops for weeks afterwards. It is good to see the children (regards of age and ability) enjoying all the activities.
The staff looked forward to the workshops as much as the children!- Sally Wright, Teacher

“We all had a great time and are looking forward to your visit in the summer. The parents certainly seemed to enjoy the sessions on Saturday. We had a full page spread in the local paper."

(2004) Karen Holden “The children and staff of Horsenden Primary School enjoyed the circus workshops. The children were highly motivated and enthusiastic. I am sure it is an experience they will always look back on with fond memories. Keep up the great work! See you in October!!- Sally Wright, Teacher

Dear Steve and Jackie
Re Family Learning Day. Just wanted to drop you a note to say a big Thank You to both of you for your support and assistance at our Family Learning Day here at Ravenor Primary as well as throughout the week
From the initial feedback that we gathered on the day, it looks like adults and children both really enjoyed the event - just for information, we had nearly 160 people attend the event, most of whom I think were in your workshops!
Thanks again for all your help and participation.
Kind regards
Harwinder- Harwinder Chawla, Pastoral Support Mentor

Shooting Stars was brilliant - the children had a fantastic time and loved every minute! Will definately be booking again! Thank you- Natasha Fielding, Teacher

Thank you very much for the fantastic experience you provided. The children thoroughly enjoyed their 3 days with Nick and are still talking about it now! - Kathy Butler, Acting Joint Head of Year

Shooting Stars Circus Skills was really popular at our Childrens Centre and Nursery launch. The families, both children and adults and staff had a fantastic time learning and experimenting with all the equipment. Our instructer Paul was very enthusiastic and made our circus experience enjoyable and memorable.

Thank you to the Circus Skills Team, we look forward to booking with you again in the future!- GEMMA WILLIAMS, CHILDRENS CENTRE CO-ORDINATOR

Thank you for a brilliant day. Both the children and adults loved it!- Sarah Henry, Teacher

The week was a resounding success wiht 100% positve feedback from staff, pupils and parents. Staff felt the children were energised and enthused throughout the week. Parents attending family workshops all asking for more of the same!- Wendy Thomas, Branching Out Co-ordinator

Absolutely excellent day - our young people had great time and learned some new skills. They have all responded positively. The day was confidence building as well as informative and fun. All of the young people commented on the staff invoved, saying how helpful they had been - thank you. We intend to re book with our extended schools co-ordinator and would love to make this a more regular event. Finally the day had a real purpose for us as we are doing the show 'Barnum'.- Marina Dunford, Deputy Headteacher

Thank you.The day was very successful and the children are still talking about it!- Marc Titeux, Deputy Headteacher

Dear Steve
I have completed your on line questionnaire but I also wanted to say a particular thank you to Russ for his hard work last week. I was also delighted to meet your lovely daughter on Saturday and would like to express my thanks to her for all her help but in particular for her patience in teaching my son to unicycle. He has already ordered one of his own. I was particularly delighted that she also told him she is training to be a barrister- what a role model!
Look forward to using your company again.
Sue Luchowa

Thoroughly enjoyed by pupils and staff!- Lorna Blowers, Head of Year

Paul was fantastic - an inspiring day to launch our PE curriculum on Circus Skills. What was particularly good was when he made a mistake as it helped the children (and staff!) feel they can make mistakes. The extra session for just the staff was appreciated. A brilliant, brilliant day - thanks so much!- Sash Hamidi, Deputy Headteacher

Excellent!!!- Mr S. Hamidi

We learnt a lot and will be prepared for a full week in October. Thank you.- Liz Day

Yet again another great day of activities. Jebb has a wonderful attitude and manner with the pupils and they all thoroughly enjoy the challenges set them. The programme suits all abilities and can be thoroughly recommended. I look forward to welcoming them again at my school- Linda Quinn, Head of Year

Can i book the same days for next year?!- Sacred Heart High School

The presenter was very good. The girls found him entertaining and enjoyed participating. They were able to try a variety of activities that challenged them mentally and physically.- Teacher

What a fantastic day! The boys loved it (and so did I) and have been talking about it ever since. Plenty of variety and something for every taste and level of ability. Paul was superb and interacted extremly well with the boys while maintaining discipline and safety. We will definatly want you to come back.
Thank you!!- Amanda Bee

Waverly is a school for pupils with servere and profound learning difficulties, just to give a bit of a background. All the pupils had a chance to join in, even with the tightrope walking.
The demonstrations were good but could of been a little more small group or individual as some of our pupils have problems focusing on things that are away from them.
Staff participation was at a height - one teacher nearly broke his neck trying to have a go at EVERYTHING.
Generally a great time was had by all and we are saving up for another go. Thank you.- Margaret Regan

I was at both the morning and afternnon sessions with a total of nearly 60 children. The general feeling was one of delight and a sense of achievment, particularly in the session for the year 5 + 6 children. They all enjoyed themselves enormously and were all chatting about it on the Monday afterwards.
A most memorable day in my life as a parent, I even learnt to juggle!
Paul was excellent with the children and they all really warmed to him.- Anne Geary

2003 “There are so many of our pupils that have gone home with a new skill after a day or a half day workshop – it was super. Thank you it was brilliant!”.
George Rogers (Teacher) “An excellent couple of days, enjoyed by all. A variety of skills that were definitely challenging but do-able.”
2004 Linda Quinn "What appeared to be easy was in fact quite tricky to master. The workshop engaged all the pupils without the barrier of academic ability. I am certainly more appreciative of the skills that I watch at the circus now!"
- Judy Ward, Senior Co-ordinator

“Excellent day – Thanks very much. All the children achieved something today small and large.”
- Stella Kyriacou

24 & 25/5/05 Excellent! Thanks again to Steve, Jebb and the team. 2nd time around and still fantastic. Inspired with what you can do with 30 peacock feathers!!! Children (and staff) had a real sense of achievement. Thanks for all your energy Jebb!- Mr S. Hamidi, Teacher

“It was a fantastic experience for all our children, they haven’t stopped talking about it – staff too! Looking forward to next time!
(2004) Ruth Roe “Thank you for your time at such short notice, spent teaching our children different skills. My son is still talking about the time he spent at the ‘circus’ and is still practising his plate spinning and juggling. He thoroughly enjoyed it, along with the other children who had a go!- Mrs C. Costello
