“We enjoyed the science drama workshop as part of science week in our school. It was a great way to enjoy something a bit different during the week and get the children to discuss our planet and the environment. All year groups, from 1 to 6 loved it and we would highly recommend it to other schools.”

“Wow! What a fabulous, engaging and inspiring workshop. Our children were engaged from the moment they started and didn't want it to end. The children learnt a lot and will now use this information and inspiration to produce some fantastic English work, that links to Geography. I would highly recommend Hannah; she had so much energy and hooked the children's attention and interests.”

“We had a fantastic Shakespeare workshop from Jo on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. It was for Reception-Year 2 children and each session was pitched at exactly the right level. Jo was enthusiastic, professional and engaged brilliantly with our children. We have been using West End in Schools for our Shakespeare workshops for a few years, and have always been very happy!”

“What a fabulous day! West End in Schools provided us with an increidbly professional, enthusiastic and experienced practitioner who knew exactly what drama strategies to employ and when. The children had a blast and learned a great deal about their chosen book to boot. I would definitely book again, and would whole-heartedly recommend to other schools who are wishing to provide their children with the opportunity to dissect and explore chosen texts dramatically.”

“Reception class thoroughly enjoyed the Where the Wild Things Are dance and drama workshop. Every single child was engaged and joined in, even those who normally struggle to access school activities. Thank you! The workshop was great! Well pitched and all of the y2 were engaged and enthusiastic. It was lovely to see the children who are usually more reserved, enjoy the immersion in the story through dance and drama. The leader was great in keeping their focus and encouraging them to explore ideas. A lovely afternoon!”

“Overall, the feedback from staff and the children was incredibly positive- thanks so much for another great World Book Day drama celebration! Nursery- The children enjoyed it but it was a challenge for the younger ones ( 3 year olds) and those with attention difficulties as it was a 50 minutes session of talking and acting. Possibly some props could help keep the interest going? Or maybe a shorter session for the younger ones? But it was well received and we did enjoy it. Reception- The workshop was really enjoyable for the children. All the children participated in the interactive storytelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. The lady managed them particularly well, throughout the workshop. She left the children with a thought-provoking question. Form 1- The children really loved the Ruby's Worry workshop. It inspired them to open up about their worries more confidently. She was very engaging and had a great manner with the kids. Hope to see you again next year! Norfolk House School, Muswell Hill”

“Fantastic and enjoyable for all ages. Anthony was professional yet fun and all of our children were engaged in the dance. The children enjoyed the music and the method in which they had to learn the steps. A great way to wrap up World Book Day celebrations! Thank you. M. Picton”

“The workshop was fantastic. Hannah was very friendly and pitched the session well. The book was relevant and linked well to our pledge of ‘be a performer’. When the children reviewed the workshop in their pledge booklet, many of them ticked the dark green smile to show they had a brilliant time. 2 days later a child commented that their worries had gone and linked that to the session, which shows it must have had a real impact- Teacher 1 The children absolutely loved the book, Ruby's worry. Hannah was so engaging and enthusiastic with the children. She really helped them to understand how to deal with their emotions and worries, what they can do to help themselves ad who they can talk to. They also had lots of fun with the games- Teacher 2”

“Never have I had such unanimous, positive feedback from all of our staff about an event like this. Julia was a talented and patient teacher who got a lot done with our children in a short amount of time! They were incredibly engaged - Year 5 want to do it every week!”

“The workshops were enjoyed by all the children. They liked the warm-up and the physical activities. The facilitator was engaging and prepared for the children. She was able to manage the classes and keep them on task. We did think there would be more on the play 'A Midsummer's Night Dream'. We felt that it had been assumed that the children had some knowledge of the play and had we known this we would have prepared the children.”

“This is our 5th visit from West End in Schools, delivering their 'Bringing Books to Life' workshops as part of our Book Week celebrations. I cannot rate them highly enough. Every facilitator we have had has been outstanding - talented, enthusiastic, knowledgeable - and the children have responded brilliantly to them. Their workshops have been a fantastic way to think about books in a different way and have really enhanced our Book week programme of events.”
