Paul was awesome, he engaged the children and staff throughout the day. It was an excellent experiential opportunity given to the children to learn and develop new circus skills. Most importantly it was FUN. Thank you for your expertise. .

Thank you so much for another enjoyable experience! Children & staff had a thoroughly enjoyable day learning new skills which they cant wait to put into practise in our very own circus perfoemance. Paul was fantastic with the children, breaking each trick down into easy, manageable steps for all to achieve.\nI just wish we had chance to have a go at more tricks - will have to try & do a whole week next time!.

The workshop we had for Year 1 and 2 was excellent and really exciting for the children. They loved using all the eqipment and learning new circus skills and have been practising ever since! We would have liked to have had more time for the children to use the eqipment at the end e.g. to explore the tightrope, unicycle etc independently. We thought the day was such a success, we booked Shooting Stars for Year 6 a few weeks later..

Hi Steve,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a great time the kids at Graveney School had today doing their circus skills workshop.
The Instructors science show was particularly engaging and all the staff and pupils seemed to really enjoy it. There was lots of laughter from start to finish. Our pupils were all transitioning from Year 6 to Year 7 and I felt that the workshop was pitched really well for their age-group. Thanks again,
Adeline.

it was fantastic!!! our group of 11-18 year olds thoroughly enjoyed it and asked if we can do it again!!! they even asked if we can get some of our own equipment!!! the instructor was brilliant with the group too kept them involved, spoke to them, set ground rules etc so we were barely needed - freeing us up to join in!! nothing negative to say! exactly what we were looking for in a workshop!!! it also helped us discover hidden talent!!!.

We were very pleased with our instructor especially as he had a scouting background and seemed to really enjoy being with us.
It was an extremely hot day and my group were the last to attend a session but the instructor was still very entertaining and professional.
I would highly recommend him.
Correspondence with Steve Grainger was very straight forward via email with quick responses.
Thank you

This looks like I havent taken the time to read the questionnaire and just clicked "Excellent" all the way down. This isnt the case. We had an amazing experience the instructor was brilliant and it was just what we wanted and much much more. You deserve the "Excellent" all the way down!

Thank you very much for a really enjoyable evening.

The Brownies loved the circus workshop - however, it would have been helpful to be told that 1 1/2 hours was not enough time for the full workshop. If we had known beforehand we could have arranged for a longer session apparently for the same money, however it was a bit late to find this out after the event. I would however definately reccommend Shooting Stars Circus Skills - it was great fun!!! - Thanks.

Both the Rainbows and Guides had a fantastic evening. The concentration and elation shown on their faces as they achieved the objective was fantastic. Even those who "couldnt do it" persevered under Stuarts direction and were overjoyed when success came up and slapped them on the back! This is the second time we have used Shooting Stars and will do so again, well worth the money..
