I would like to say what a fantastic job the Instructors did. Our students had an amazing time and have declared the circus skills course the best thing in activities week. We were all impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of the course leaders and by their emphasis on being inclusive. One of the highlights of our week was seeing students who do not normally get on stage or receive a cheer get up and perform in front of an audience. Thank you so much. We will be in touch about the possibility of booking for next year - we are going to contact the junior school and see if they would be interested in sharing the experience for a week. Caroline.

Dear Steve
On behalf of 1st Kilgetty Scout group I'd like to say a special thank you to the Instructors for their hard work on Saturday.
The Beavers, and a few siblings in the morning thoroughly enjoyed themselves, a few finding skills they didn't know about. And the older children in the afternoon learnt different skills. All were well behaved thankfully. I hope your 2 helpers enjoyed their day with us.
Many thanks again for a wonderful day.
All the children enjoyed themselves trying out new equipment. Quite a few found skills they didn't know they had! Stilt walking, juggling, spinning plates. Thanks for helping us make our centenary year with something special.

Paul was great. He showed the girls what to do, helped them when having difficulty and generally made it so that the guiders could play host to the rest of the people celebrating our Brownie 50th birthday. Not many of the older ladies joined in and Paul (quite rightly) adopted to focus on the Brownies and getting them to 'perform' to the rest of us, which was great. I'd recommend him and Shooting Stars Circus Skills to anyone. Patricia Leslie.

Excellent evening! Paul was brilliant with the Guides and they all had a great time and achieved some new skills. We would love to have him back (if he can bear it) to do a bit more - maybe towards the end of the year?\nA Tuesday evening sometime in Dec/ Jan same times would be good - don't know how quickly you get booked up but I guess pretty rapidly so could you let me have some dates which might be possible?.

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!.

The workshops were very well and efficiantly organised. the instructor kept good control of the group and maintained structure, even with a very young age group. We had lots of positive feedback from all the children and mothers who enjoyed the full range of activties provided. All in all, two very successful days, very different from each other (one very structured, one very free) but both extremely enjoyable..

Excellent!\n(2003) "This was a fantastic week. The children really enjoyed themselves and the educational value was excellent - they produced excellent writing and brilliant pictures. The show at the end of the week was fantastic. The children enjoyed watching and participating so much.\n(2004) "A wonderful week involving all the children. We saw many children achieve things we wouldn't have believed.\"\n(2007) \"The children loved this week, this 'buzz' swept though into the classroom and they completed high levels of work.\"\n\"Children and adults really enjoyed circus skills week. One child made a comment that he wishes he could do circus skills everyday.\"\n\"The children extremely enjoyed circus week and building their skills. The amount and level of work gained from the children was invaluable.\"\n\"Parents feedback has been brilliant.\"\n\"Good opportunity for children to appreciate each other's efforts.\"\n\"The resources for use in class were superb - especially the DVDs which promoted a lot of discussion and led to a wonderful debate as to whether animals should be in a circus or not.\".

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your circus skills workshop at our school yesterday.
Jebb was fantastic - the demonstration he did amazed all the kids. He worked brilliantly with all of the children and pitched everything at exactly the right level for each age group. All of the teachers were very impressed and the children have not stopped talking about it.
It is exactly what we wanted and I will not hesitate to recommend your services to everyone.
Thanks again.

The children kept coming back for more. Even the Mums and Dads were keen to get involved and everyone had so much fun. Thank you for making our party such a success..

Overall the event went well and the performers were busy throughout the day. Maybe if they allocated half an hour for performance display only it would have made my day. Public enjoyed the use of various circus materials and equipment, young and old participated. It was well worth the money for an event of this scale. Thank you..
