'The day was fun because we had never had the experience before, I didn't think I'd ever go on a unicycle'. Caroline Yr 2

Learners were very enthusiastic, both pupils and staff enjoyed experiencing new skills.- Miss Murray, Yr 2 teacher

The Brownies had a lovely session and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They have all now gained their circus skills badge.- Penny Williams

Many Thanks - overseen by another member of staff - generally enjoyed by all.- Gill Noble

The day was excellent from start to finish. The children really enjoyed the experience and talked about it for many days afterwards. Each child, from reception to year 6 showed a keen intrest and remained on task for the whole workshop. The school will certanly be using shooting stars circus skills in the future- Mike Chaplin, Teacher

Loved it! Just the ticket for gwtting teachers reflecting on the programme which asked them to work together, be resourceful and keep trying.- Jan Gibbs

Fantastic. The two performers were exactly what we wanted.- Jan Gibbs

An excellent session once again, well organised and thoroughly enjoyed by the children.
Many Thanks!- Amanda Skidmore

A thoroughly enjoyable workshop enjoyed by all pupilsand staff alike. We only had a short amount of time but children learned new skills and took away memorable experiences. We will definately consider booking again - and for longer. No hesitation in recommending Shooting Stars to anyone interested.- Kevin Grayson

Leanne Willetts is a great person to have in school as part of our annual festival. She is great with the kids and knows her job very well. Shooting Stars Circus is always a proffessional provider of activities that the pupils really enjoy participating in. Thank you once again Leanne and Steve.- Lisa Sinaguglia, Performing Arts secretary

The practicioner you provided just could not have been better. Great with the kids!! Lovely lady!!- Lisa Sinaguglia

(2003)“We would like to convey our very special thanks to you for your much valued and inspiring contribution to our first Arts Festival. Feedback from pupils and staff alike was imaginative, positive and recorded moments of humour, discovery and passion. Thank you for playing such a vital role in this new venture and as we look towards 2004, perhaps you might allow us to contact you once again?”
(2004) Mr Pearson “Smaller groups may have been better. Some excellent achievements by pupils ie walking on stilts and learning to ride a unicycle.
Janet Perkins "An excellent inclusion for our Arts Festival. Everyone loved it!- Janet Perkin, Head of Performing A

Excellent!!!!- Jo Nickolls, Deputy Headteacher

“We liked the idea of the early part of the session ‘having a go’ at all the exciting equipment, then spending the rest of the session really working at learning a skill. The children who worked in this manner got most out of the day. Very good value.”- Mrs F. Whitefield

Excellent H & S talk at start and during workshop. Interest levels were 'Sky High!' All the pupils were thrilled with the day. Thanks to Paul's encouragement the more able began to tutor the more unsure pupils. Many of the pupils were amazed at the rate their skills developed, skills they didn't know they had. Their confidence has grown as a direct result of the day and there is now a waiting list for the next time you visit. I've even purchased a box of equipment from you so we can continue to practice while we wait to book the next one. I'm trying to convince other departments to contact you about the 'subject specific' classes you're developing.- Emma Poole

Thank you so much. Paul was fabulous with our pupils and the whole day was everything I hoped for and more. The pupils were thrilled with everything and they went home buzzing!
Our A&T do-ordinater was very impressed and has agreed to at least two more days next year so i'll be in touch after the christmas break.
I'd also like to buy some circus equipment so we can practice after school.
Thank you once again and a Merry Christmas to all of you.- Emma Poole
