“Ben, the dancer/choreographer was absolutely brilliant! He engaged the children from the first moment they entered the hall. He kept the session active, inspiring and exciting. It was so much fun and brought the books to life for all the children. Some of our children with SEN needs were beautifully catered for and were able to access the sessions. All our teachers were enthusiastic about the workshops and I'm sure we will book again. Well worth the cost.”

“The children & staff thoroughly enjoyed the workshops. Amy, the instructor, was animated & captured the children's interest straight away & was able to cater across the school from Reception to Year 6. All the feedback from the children & teachers was positive. Thank you, would recommend it to other schools.”

“As part of our World Book Day celebrations, we had West End in Schools run a Shakespeare workshop based on the Tempest. The children really enjoyed learning about Shakespeare, hearing the story and acting out some of the different scenes - they particularly enjoyed being the monster Caliban! A huge thank you for such a wonderful event.”

“We enjoyed a day with West End in Schools yesterday. Daisy worked with children from Nursery up to Y4. Her energy and enthusiasm didn't drop all day and each session was aimed just right at the age of the children involved. It was great fun but we all learned a lot about the books too.”

“The children at Rotherfield Primary School had a brilliant day reimagining the story of Alice in Wonderland through Dance ahead of our World Book Day celebrations. The sessions were adapted to suit all of our year groups from EYFS to Year 6 and enthused and engaged every single child. The workshop leader was brilliant with the children, very clear with instructions and expectations and remained high energy all day. We would thoroughly recommend a West End in Schools workshop to other schools.”

“The children were all engaged and excited and had a fantastic morning. They loved exploring the story 'How to Catch a Star' and we were all really impressed with their final dance. A wonderful way to bring a story to life. Thank you!”

“Ben was wonderful with the children and very enthusiastic. They loved the story telling at the start of the session and creating their own group ideas. He was very encouraging and energetic and flexible with the groupings. Another wonderful workshop, thank you!”

“Love, love, loved it! What a fantastic day with Christy leading workshops for our children from Reception to Year 6. The children thoroughly enjoyed their sessions, learning all the different elements for their dance and then the performance at the end. A big thank you to Christy and to West End in Schools - we would highly recommend them.”

“All the children were engaged and excited to take part in the dancing. The leader's enthusiasm was engaging and all the children threw themselves into the dance, which was challenging and gradually built up small steps into a full dance. It was very well planned, linking the book to dance moves, drama and music.”

“The West End in School dance workshop was great. The children were really engaged and loved getting involved in the retelling of 'the Enormous Crocodile'. The sessions were well thought out and the skills and activities were differentiated well between the year groups. Siobhan was great, the children responded well and spoke really positively about the session.”

“What a fantastic afternoon! The sessions were active, energetic and engaging for all of the Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children taking part. The children have been buzzing since and produced a very detailed, high quality and thoughtful piece of performance art. Jordan was quick to assess the children's abilities, making changes to his plan as he went along for their benefit. Thank you, we look forward to working with you again in the future.”

“West End in Schools was the highlight of our 2 day Reading Spectacular in school this year and it was a great success. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed using dance and drama to bring their chosen books to life. The pre-visit organisation was very good and Honor who ran the workshops was excellent. We would definitely consider using you again.”

“The children enjoyed the dance and the leader was lovely with the children. The dance for Y2 was quite rushed, having sat then warmed up for 20 minutes out of the 35 minute session. For the price of each session, we felt that there should at least have been some props.”
