As a Headteacher of a special school for secondary aged boys with significant and persisting emotional and behavioural difficulties, I was absolutely delighted with the impact made by Shooting Stars Circus Skills. They grabbed the boys' attention from the outset, kept them motivated and positively involved throughout the day. The variety of activities was exceptional with all boys active for the whole day. Without doubt, this was the most successful activity session provided in school by external personnel. An excellent day!\nMr Quin "A truly wicked day with all the boys gaining confidence and greater self esteem. All the boys were kept motivated and on task through great leadership. Thanks for a great day.\n.

Another great week of circus skills. The children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to learn new skills with the flower sticks as we had not used them in previous years. The show to the parents was a resounding success again. Thank you Steve and Jackie..

The family learning session was enjoyed by all that took part from toddlers to grandparents. The level of actvities were aimed just right by the instructors expert assessment of each group he had. I would recommend this Circus Skills, all that came were extremely happy with the sessions and would like something similar again..

Excellent session, Steve pitched the level just right for my Brownies and encouraged those who said they couldnt do it to try again until they got it - they then had big smiles of achievement on their faces.

It was just a shame that we couldnt have had longer and maybe learnt some clown skills or stiltwalking - Ill just have to book a longer session next time!

The Circus Skills day provided an excellent hands-on introduction to our Circus theme and really engaged the children. It was particularly good to see some children shine in circus skills who struggle with other areas of the curriculum..

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. .

Nick arrived well over an hour before the start time - he was very well-resourced and prepared. He responded very well to our diverse group of SEN students. Nick challenged the students and kept their interest at a maximum. The great energy, fun and laughter throughout the whole school that day was immensly uplifting. He even led a full staff group of 30 after school and everybody participated with gusto! Many many thanks to Nick. We would love him to visit us again soon..

On behalf of Connexions Learning & Development Team, I wish to say thank you for having provided a personal development opportunity for our staff at the Annual Conference, in the Telford Whitehouse Hotel.\nI also wish to pass on to you, my own heartfelt thanks for your contribution to such a resounding success of a conference with regard to satisfaction value. I am starting to collate details from the forms for the evaluation of the Staff conference, and before I even count the numbers it is apparent that the 'feel good factor' is very high. As you have helped make our conference go so well, and delivered very much an 'enjoyable factor' for our staff which has helped us win through and make a success for the day, I am keeping your details firmly on my file..

We have used Shooting Stars several times now, and each time the feedback from the participants has been overwhelmingly favourable. They never cease to entertain and impress everyone, and any event we run where Shooting Stars is used, is bound to fill up very quickly indeed. We recommend them to anyone -you will not be disappointed..

Steve,
Please could you thank Paul for an excellent evening with our Beavers/Cubs and Scouts. All the adults and children were extremely impressed and had a fantastic time. I am sorry I had to leave before the Scouts had finished, but I had one very tired Beaver who needed his bed before he consumed any more chocolate !
I hope that the Scouts helped Paul load the van.
As a teacher and general organiser, I have booked many different entertainers and specialists over the years and you never really know how things are going to go, but Paul was brilliant, speaking to each group of children appropriately, being entertaining and funny and in control !and increasing the level of difficulty.
Thank you once again Im sure you can look forward to more bookings in Northampton as a result, Sarah Wise 30th Northampton Scout Group
