Once again we have enjoyed an absolutely fabulous week. To see the children and adults! making great progress, not only with their circus skills, but in their concentration, determination, motor skills ... I could go on, is such a privilege! Steve and Jackie are consummate professionals and we all look forward to welcoming them back to our school for our next Circus Week.- Helen Atkinson, Headteacher

MOST ENJOYABLE- PAUL CONYERS, POLICE OFFICER

This was a great way to end the term, with children of all ages having an enjoyable experience, I didn't hear one complaint. - Peter Cansell, Headteacher

Steve was very helpful and enthusiastic. He even worked with children before school teaching them diablo tricks.
A very enjoyable day. Thank-you - Susan Gopall, Headteacher

Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed by the children.- Ruth Bennie, Headteacher

More information required prior to the event, especially with regard to a timetable, the dressing up, performance times and the resources available. We could then have covered some topic work prior to the event. Otherwise the whole event was brilliant and the children and adults! thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We have had good feedback from the parents. - Mrs Susan Pearson, Headteacher

The children were pleased to improve skills and the experience fitted in well with our themes of preseverence and forces. - Sue Towner, Teacher

It has been exciting watching so many children develop skills and confidence and enjoy performing at the end of the week. Some of the achievements have been quite remarkable. The spontaneous cheers and applause are a testament to the quality of the show.- Anna Ballance, Headteacher

Just a short note to say a big “thank you” for the Circus Skills week, it was amazing!
The workshops inspired both children and adults alike, providing the opportunity to release hidden abilities in so many children and also to boost their confidence. Timing wise, it provided a much needed boost following SAT’s.
We have received so many positive comments from parents regarding the whole week and obviously the Grand Finales on the Friday when many were moved to tears! Needless to say, children, staff and parents are all looking forward to your return next year.
- Anna Balance, Headteacher

Excellent- Fiona Macpherson, Aimhigher Coordinator

We all had a marvellous day and the children and staff ALL said it was one of the best days they had had at school.- Mrs Julie Furniss, Teacher

The Circus Skills Workshop was great. The girls had a great time an wanted to use the skills they had learnt. We would definitely have Shooting Stars back again. Paul was very good with the girls, teaching and encouraging them. Thank you.- Jackie Webb

A very worthwhile workshop! Thank you- Mrs Andrea Moss, Teacher

We would like to thank you for your help with our summer fair- Kate Catlow

An exciting week, well managed and stimulating. A tangible build up of enthusiasm with staff - seeing them creeping into the hall at the end of the day to have a go at juggling or diabolo.
The Big Top event was great and really finished the week off well.- James Bird

All the Primary school pupils had a great day and all the staff have been commenting on how excited the pupils were after. Thanks, I feel I left you to it a bit, but the older pupils who helped said it was great.- Milly Clements

“Thanks for a great day! Everyone enjoyed it enormously and felt a real sense of achievement in the new skills that they learned. I will certainly recommend you to neighbouring schools.”- Chris Phillips, Headteacher

“Excellent! A very positive ‘spirit’ was developed by the group. Boys willing to have a go, fail, then keep going until they succeeded. Very enjoyable and positive.”- Gareth Lewis, Head of Education

“I cannot remember a more creative and original project in any school in which I’ve worked during a long career.”
