“The Shakespeare workshops were a great success and were thoroughly enjoyed by pupils across Years 3 to 6. Feedback from both teachers and children was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting how engaging and beneficial the sessions were. The workshops supported the development of oracy skills and provided an exciting hook that helped pupils understand complex Shakespearean storylines and themes. They also inspired enthusiasm for Shakespeare’s work, fostering a love of literature before pupils transition to KS3. During Shakespeare Week, teachers noted a positive impact on pupils’ writing, with children demonstrating greater confidence, creativity and understanding in their written work as a result of their workshop experiences.”

“We have had the most amazing morning with Lee from your company who led a fantastic drama morning of MIDSOMER NIGHTS DREAM with a mix of year three to year six children. He had a fantastic rapport with the children, all children were fully engaged and learned so much from his enthusiasm and passion for Shakespeare. It is an experience they will not forget. Please pass on my thanks to him especially in this heat and in the shortened session. We will definitely be rebooking in the future. A wonderful experience for all.”

“We had the pleasure of welcoming West End in Schools to work with our pupils over two fantastic days, where we were fully immersed in the magical world of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and the children absolutely loved every moment. It was amazing to watch their confidence grow throughout the workshops as they explored Shakespeare through drama, movement and creativity. The sessions were engaging, accessible and allowed every child to take part and shine. Our instructor was brilliant — supportive, enthusiastic and fantastic at managing the workshops. They created such a positive environment where the children felt comfortable expressing themselves and trying something new. The whole process, from booking to the workshops themselves, was seamless. The team were extremely responsive, helpful and happy to answer any questions we had beforehand. We would highly recommend West End in Schools.”

“Bethan was so engaging and the children loved exploring literature through movement. They were really proud of their final performances and loved watching recordings of their performance when they were back in class. Challenging but accessible for all.”

“The Prep at Denstone College - Flamenco Fiesta! - 04/06/2024 - P4, P5 & P6 The flamenco sessions, run by Finlay Mackay, were brilliant! Finlay engaged all pupils superbly and each year group thoroughly enjoyed learning about the origins and performance of flamenco. The end dance was excellent considering length of the session. Gracias for a memorable morning! Communication from the West End in Schools office was also excellent to arrange all details.”

“The workshop was good and the children enjoyed the dancing. It would have been good to have more authentic visuals for the children to see, touch, explore...such as castanets, fans etc...”

“We were very impressed by Emma’s enthusiasm. The children had a fantastic day and found it very informative. We especially loved how, in such a short time, they were able to learn dances from a variety of countries and bring them all together so successfully.”

“An outstanding workshop with a leader who builds excellent rapport with pupils. She was highly professional and skilfully adapted her approach from Reception to Year 6, ensuring every child was included and engaged. Her delightful, creative, and ambitious approach makes Shakespeare truly enriching and accessible for all.”

“We had Rebecca and she was great with all the children (she worked with children from Reception to year 5). She kept them engaged the entire time and the afternoon went really quickly. The children really enjoyed reacting to the different characters and acting together to create mini scenes. A good experience all round. Thank you.”

“Hi, we loved the dancing and the fact that all children learned a dance, and the teacher was really lovely but we woulds have liked them to have maybe some appropriate spanish clothing and instruments so it could have been a more immersive experience.”

“We were visited by West End in Schools on Tuesday 17th March. The lead was engaging and ehtusiatic and the children enjoyed telling the story through dance. It was lovely to see how each classes dance was pieced together in the final performance and the children loved to watch their peers perform!”

“We were looking forward to this workshop but unfortunately it was simply a slide presentation and the presenter read off of the i pad. It seemed like she wasn't very familiar with the topic and also used vocabulary that was above that of year 4. There was some movement but not really a drama lesson as such. I wouldn't book this again.”

“We had a fabulous day with Sasha. She was enthusiastic and well prepared throughout the whole day. It was great to see the progression from EYFS all the way to year 6 in the dance and story telling. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day. The final production was fantastic with the children really enjoying the opportunity to see each other perform.”
