“Mary was absolutely amazing. The program was so well structured and delivered. The children joined in (even those that would normally want to opt out). What a fabulous couple of days. Thank you to Mary and the whole company!”

“Our experience with West End in Schools was, quite simply, amazing. From the moment Elizabeth stepped through our doors, she brought a burst of professional energy and West End "magic" that completely captivated our pupils and staff alike. Even some of our most reserved students were involved and captivated by the end of the session. The workshops were paced perfectly, keeping energy levels high while ensuring every child felt supported and seen. Elizabeth created a safe, non-judgmental space where children of all abilities could express themselves confidently. A huge thank you to the West End in Schools team for such an inspiring visit. We are already looking at the calendar to book our next session!”

“The children enjoyed the drama event, however this was a story that isn't very well known. Despite reading the story a couple of times it is not accessible for our children especially children with EAL. The performance for the children at the end of the day didn't work for reception children as their workshop was at the start of the day so they couldn't remember anything. The facilitator changed the format for the 2nd day but admitted it was too difficult a story for ks1 and reception. The dance didn't really support the story.”

“A fabulous experience enjoyed by both pupils and staff. The children loved learning the choreography and working on their facial expressions. The pupils overcame stage fright and developed their confidence during the performance. Thank you. An experience to be repeated!”

“Emily was a fantastic representative and engaged the children in the activities. The choice of stories suited our curriculum and the flexibility from West End in terms of timetabling for the day was great. Communication was prompt and the day was oragnised quickly. We thought that perhaps for the money that had been paid for the workshops, there might have been props or resources brought to enhance the sessions. We also perhaps thought that there might have been somthing given to the children or a simple follow up task/activity, given the expense of the day.”

“Y6 - The teacher really enjoyed the workshop with his class. It held their attention, was interactive and angaged children of all abilities. Also told an interesting story. Y4 - Very calm, and patient with the class. Asked if there were an SN in the class and made sure to speak to and check in with each group. The facilitator created a welcoming and engaging atmosphere. Great feedback from all other years of the children really enjoying the workshop”

“The children loved the stories and more session. It was very interactive! Lucy was great with the children, energetic, enthusiastic and positive. The children loved learning a new story and watching the older children perform. Our feedback would be possibly timings? The session seemed very rushed, the children had to learn a lot in a 25 minute session. Then the assembly ran over so we very late going to classes which them caused an issue with getting them into the classroom safely. I could not fault the teaching. The teacher was clear with her instruction and in the way she modelled each step. All children were focused. I thought that the group work was smoothly blended into the dance and it encouraged less confident children to participate. This was also something that the children really enjoyed. I thought the teaching was exciting, positive and enthusiastic and the children in my class seemed to really enjoy story telling through dance.”

“Our workshop leader, Kieran, was excellent and managed behaviour whilst remaining energised and inspiring to the children. All children were engaged and joined in. Any children who were on the margins were gently supported to be included. The sense of the story was communicated and maintained and the children were involved in a number of different drama activities. There was a lot packed in to the workshop! Thanks”

“Fantastic! The children all had a brilliant time, and the workshops created an excited buzz around the school. The end performance was amazing, and we all loved seeing how each part came together to create a story.”

“The guy was fantastic - I literally don't know how he did it but it was awesome. All the children were engaged and inspired and Peddar was fun but authoritative so they learned quickly and with ease. Well, I can only speak for myself when I say that that I found Friday wonderful! I was amazed at how my class learnt a dance in 20 minutes and then had the confidence to perform it to the whole school.”

“Colin was brilliant! He was full of energy, instantly engaging, worked so hard to interest the children and prepared them brilliantly for their end of the day show. Staff were blown away with how much the children had achieved in their workshops. This was highly inclusive and a real pleasure to see so many children who usually lack confidence or who face challenges in their learning embracing the fun!”

“What a fantastic way to celebrate World Book Day and the National Year of Reading. The workshop was pitched really well to all age groups allowing all children to succeed. The final performance was a lovely celebration of what they had all learnt and a lovely way to retell the story of Pinocchio. James, our dance workshop instructor, was great with the children and was able to teach each year group their portion of the story in an engaging and fun way.”
