“The performance of Aladdin given by West End in schools was fantastic- the school children and teachers really enjoyed it and there was plenty of opportunity for the children to join in and make noise! We will definitely be booking again! Becky Lazard POMS , Brentry Primary school Bristol”

“We had a fantastic visit from West End in Schools in early November. The children loved it and we found Ashley's enthusiasm and passion for dance infectious! We had a Roald Dahl themed book week and all the children in the school learned a dance based on one of his books (differentiated for different age groups). The children loved it so much we performed the dances the next day to their parents. After lots of positive feedback from children, staff and parents we will definitely be asking West End in Schools back to Four Elms in the future.”

“Children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed Cinderella. There may have only been two cast members but they were able to successfully portray a multitude of characters successfully. A brilliant and festive afternoon.”

“The actors were terrific. They had impressive singing voices, very engaging acting, and command of the stage. Even though Scrooge is a difficult play for small children to understand, the audience (Reception - Y3) was completely enchanted throughout. There were opportunities to join in throughout, including very cleverly timed dancing, which got the children up and moving whenever they started to get fidgety from sitting. This might have been our best panto yet!”

“The younger children were fully engaged throughout the performance. It was lovely that they had an opportunity to be involved and had actions to help them remember the words to songs and repeated phrases. The only thing that could be improved would be the props/ costumes - to ensure that the different characters were more defined (the younger children found this a little confusing with a different character played by the same person.) Other than this, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you!”

“The Actors worked very hard and the younger pupils enjoyed the pantomime atmosphere. However, the props and costumes were a little simple and tatty. The characters were limited because there were only two actors and this affected the overall performance. They also didn't have anywhere to properly hide and change which took away from the magic. The younger pupils were still entertained but unfortunately it didn't have the same appeal for the older pupils.”

“We had an amazing three days at Beech Hill School. We are a large primary school and it was lovely that children from all three key stages had the opportunity to come together for the final performance each day. It is unusual for us to achieve this - usually we group similar age ranges together. The workshop itself was delivered in a fun and informative way, encouraging the children to perform with expression. I was impressed that older children were actively encouraged to perform using original Shakespearean language. We found a few hidden talents as well! Children responded brilliantly to the workshop leader who had high expectations and made sure that everyone participated. He mixed the original play with modern ideas which the children really enjoyed. A love of Shakespeare has been embedded!”

“All children enjoyed the dance workshop and could discuss the parts they had focused on. It was a great, practical way to support anti-bullying week.”

“Pupils from P1 to P7 experienced a fantastic day of dance workshops based around books that had been studied in class. The dance tutor from West End in Schools was fabulous! She engaged all of our pupils through fun, exciting and inclusive dance activities. All school staff commented on how much the pupils enjoyed the experience and how skilled Lorraine was in managing and motivating all learners. We would highly recommend this company!”

“A fantastic morning of workshops that the children were really engaged in! It was adapted for different year groups from Foundation to Year 6 and really motivated and encouraged children to think about friendship and teamwork. Thank you!”

“The workshops were great! Full of fun, energy and really positive feedback from children and staff. We all enjoyed the day which ran smoothly and without problems. Our Dance 'teacher' was enthusiastic and full of praise for the children who took to him immediately. He was creative and interesting as well as very good with the behaviour control Many thanks for a brilliant day”

“Diana was absolutely fantastic and it was incredible what she was able to produce with the pupils in such a short space of time. Both pupils and staff were inspired and loved every minute. It was a delight to see those who are so quiet normally really come out of their shells and perform.”

“What a great day!!! All of our key stage 2 children were motivated , enthusiastic and smiling by the end of the workshop. The activities worked well to promote friendship and teamwork which was the aim. The lady who came to do the workshop really inspired the children and was not phased by even the less reluctant participants!! Thank you for a super day. Endike Academy. Mrs Dulson”

“We had a truly fabulous day learning about and performing 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' The whole day was engaging and enjoyed by all from our youngest who are still only 4 to the Year 6 who handled the theme of love very well! Sean was brilliant and the children loved him and responded with enthusiasm and a sense of admiration for him. We were a little unsure what to expect but we certainly do not have any reservations and will definitely be booking again in the future. I am sure it will become an annual event. One thing we will do differently next time is to build the play into the curriculum so that longer is spent in the lead up to it. Children worked on it during the day but teachers felt that they could have planned a whole unit on it and taught it over a week, culminating in the performance itself. Thank you, a memorable day for all.”

“Alistair was brilliant with the children. Starting off talking about the story and then moving onto talk about the Globe put everything into context for them. He crammed so much into a short space of time. It was fantastic to watch the confidence of the children when performing in front of the whole school. It certainly opened our eyes to some budding actors!”
