“It was a very interactive workshop with some great resources to keep the kids engaged. The children enjoyed dancing to the music when acting out the story of Rama and SIta. Thank you!”

“My year R class enjoyed their dance lesson. I had a child who had been worried about it but within minutes of the session starting he joined in and smiled all the way through it. I liked how it linked to the story of Rama and Sita in a simple form- it was well matched to 4/5 year olds. Thank you”

“The students thoroughly enjoyed the Diwali dance workshop. Hollie was fantastic at engaging the children, managing behaviour and ensuring that everyone got the most out of their session. The workshop brought the story behind the celebration of Diwali to life for the children in an active, engaging and fun way which I know they will remember.”

“Charlie from West End in Schools provided fun, engaging and educational drama workshops to 6 different classes throughout the day. The workshops concluded with a whole group performance which allowed all classes involved to join in with each others' learning and enjoy a memorable experience. 'Poetry and Poppies' brought history to life and provided an opportunity for pupils to learn about and understand the meaning and significance of Remembrance Day. Thank you so much - highly recommend!”

“What a wonderful afternoon! Our Year 6 children got so much from their Poppies and Poetry workshop and we are looking forward to sharing their final performance with parents this week. Ben really engaged and inspired the children and we really hope that we can get him back in school soon.”

“Children engaged really well. The session was age appropriate and linked well to the story of Diwali. The children had a great time learning the dance, listening to and interacting with the story. It was great to see another way which dance can be taught to primary age children. Thank you.”

“Ella was a great teacher, she made the session engaging and fun for all the year groups. The dance was easy enough for all the children to grasp easily. She was energetic and positive and praised the children. In fact, most of the children thought she was excellent. The whole school performance was amazing and it was great for the children to showcase what they've learnt. We would definitely book and recommend this company again. India was very responsive and extremely patient. Thank you Westend!!!!”

“It was a brilliant session! The children learned a lot about Diwali and learned a lovely dance to perform at the end. It was differentiated for the different year groups.”

“I asked my Year 5/6 class what they would take away from the experience. A lot said that they would take away how excited the soldiers were to go to war and then how depressed they became. Other points that they enjoyed: • opportunities for acting • understanding how it felt to be part of the war • loved the poetry that was chosen Other children said: ''I liked how we had to do the different actions, it was very interesting'' Year 4 ''I really enjoyed the group activities, working with my friends.'' Year 3 ''Learning about what happened during WW1 and WW2 was fun to learn about'' Year 4 ''I enjoyed the part where we had to copy the actions on the war posters'' Year 4 ''I liked reading the poems and creating the freeze frames'' AML Year 3 Overall, a huge hit. Thank you!”

“The children had a wonderful time during their sessions on the Stone Age and the Greeks. Keira was very professional and created a wonderful rapport with the children. The only thing the teachers thought may be an improvement was if the member of staff dressed up to match the specific era and if they could have brought some resources for the children to use e.g spears, stone tools, dressing up clothes etc.”

“We thought the instructor was great, but didn't really feel the content was as thought-provoking as it could have been or that it covered new areas that we haven't already discussed at school. When she asked at the end, 'What have you learned today?', the children found it hard to come up with ideas. Some children definitely enjoyed the drama aspect. The freeze frames all brought about similar responses.”

“The instructor was friendly and approachable, the children were pleased to engage with a different culture through dance. They rushed the session a little, finishing 15 minutes early, and our children found the dance moves difficult. We will ask West End in Schools back but we hope that the team will give our children more instruction in future to enable them to participate fully. Thanks for coming!”

“The children were engaged and enjoyed the new experience of working with Lee when exploring the poem. Working in groups to create the freeze frames was an exciting way to deepen their understanding and I will certainly use this myself in the future. Lee was knowledgeable and his range of experience informed the session.”
