“We had a fantastic day with the whole school taking part in the Alice in Wonderland dance workshop. Each class was able to learn their section and performed it brilliantly at the end of the day. Ruby was brilliant in her teaching and made sure all the children were engaged and taking part. She was calm and confident and really helped to make the day special. Thank you!”

“Alice in Wonderland Dance Day was a really successful event for our one-form entry primary school. Angela was a well organised and talented dance teacher who encouraged whole school participation over the day, class by class. Each learned a pretty complex routine and then it all came together at the end in a performance linked by voice over and music. Highlight for me was seeing EVERYONE dancing, even our very hard to reach children!”

“I'd just say a massive thank you to Shannon from West End in Schools. The children were so engaged with the activities throughout the entire day - even those children who would usually shy away from performance and dance! Shannon was brilliant with the children and they were transfixed from the very beginning. Every teacher that got to watch a workshop couldn't have had kinder words to say.”

“What a great day! Sally was incredible - engaging, enthusiastic, bubbly and pitched everything at the right level and for every single year group. Couldn't fault her. So much so that we are waiting for approval to book you again!”

“Exceedingly expensive. One teacher modelled dance moves to the children to a backing track. 255 minutes of teaching for £539 works out at £126 an hour!”

“We recently invited West End in Schools to work with our children as part of our World Book Week celebrations, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rachel, our instructor, was absolutely fantastic — full of energy, creativity, and passion for engaging the children. The focus of the workshop was Alice in Wonderland, and Rachel worked with children from Reception to Year 6 throughout the day. It was incredible to see how she adapted her approach for each age group, ensuring every child felt included and inspired. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the whole-school production at the end, where every year group came together to showcase what they had learned. Watching our children perform with such confidence and enthusiasm was truly heartwarming. The workshop was not only a brilliant way to celebrate World Book Week but also a powerful reminder of the joy that drama, storytelling, and performance can bring into schools. It was a unique, fun, and creative experience that the children will remember for a long time. Thank you, West End in Schools, for providing such a magical and memorable day for our whole school community. We would absolutely recommend your workshops to any school looking to enrich their curriculum with high-quality drama experiences.”

“We loved having West End in Schools back to our little school for the third time. Despite the wide ages and abilities of the whole school, Hollie managed to deliver a workshop for all our mixed classes. It is lovely to give children the opportunity to perform on top of the drama lessons we do in school because, let's be honest, Hollie is much better skilled than we are at putting together an engaging workshop.”

“West End in Schools always deliver engaging, enjoyable and informative workshops for pupils that really do 'bring books to life'. I have been booking these workshops for 4 years now and have been thoroughly impressed each year with the facilitators for their knowledge of the story and also the way that they effectively support pupils with SEND to understand the story. I would certainly recommend the workshops as they are a brilliant resource to support the reading and writing curriculum.”

“We are a primary school and year groups reception, all the way to year 6, were able to take part in this workshop. Our instructor - Ollie - was fantastic, and had fantastic behaviour management with the children: he held their attention and made the sessions both fun and meaningful. The bit the children enjoyed the most was cpming together at the end of the day to watch each other's performances. Each year group told a part of the story and it really came to life when watching them in order. Not only did they cover dance, but also acting skills, making sure that they used facial expressions to convey character and emotions. Such an excellent day - thank you so much!”

“We booked two days of dance workshops (Storytelling Through Dance) as part of our World Book Week celebrations. Every class worked with the workshop leader (the lovely Angela) to choreograph a dance routine inspired by Where the Wild Things Are. I recommend the workshops to any educator looking to book something that gets their pupils thinking about the different ways of telling stories, especially if you're interested in teaching them about adaptation and different forms of literacy. Most importantly, our pupils had fun and got to be silly and move around! Also, the West End in Schools team were really helpful and accommodating during the booking and planning process. Thank you!”

“WOW! This was our first time using West End in Schools and we'd 100% use them again. From the minute the presenter walked in, to the final performance - she was outstanding. All classes from EYFS - Y6 received a 30/40 minute workshop where they were all fully engaged in the activities. The presenter was extremely talented and wonderful with them. The final performance was amazing and the children loved it. I received messages at the end of the day from the staff at school to say that was the best workshop they've ever received in school and they'd 100% want to use you again. Thank you so much for a wonderful day.”
