“Great energy and behaviour management. The children thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“Whilst the children enjoyed the performance, there were some aspects seemed to 'go over their heads' (our children are aged 4-7 years).”

“The show was good and the actors were very enthusiastic. It was perfectly balanced in terms of timing. The show really catered for the children in Year 3 & 4 however the adult children were less enthusiastic about the content/”

“The children were highly entertained by the West End Theatre's musical pantomime Cinderella. Lots of laughs (for the teachers too!) and lots of opportunities for the children to get involved and join in. We all thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“Great performance from the actors, although the lack of props was a bit disappointing.”

“The performance was well-received by the children. The children and adults enjoyed the singing, acting and characterisation. It was very creative, the way the 2 actors performed the parts. The actors made it clear how to respond during the performance. It covered the story really well - we had just read The Christmas Carol with our year 5 and 6 pupils.”

“The children across the school really enjoyed the workshops They also loved having a dance routine to perform at the end of the sessions The only query was that not all the workshops had a strong theme of friendship - in some cases it was a little tenuous.”

“It was a great workshop but would have been even better if they'd left us with the music so we could have done it again and got the most out of it!”

“Daisy led the activities very well and had all the children’s attention; she was able to teach them new words in a fun yet stimulating environment. All children of all abilities were able to take lots from the task and in KS2 were able to use their new knowledge to write poetry. The only change I would have made is to have the music playing from the speakers and poem projected on the board. Thank you.”

“The member of your team was very enthusiastic with all the children and really helped to bring the story of Diwali to life through music & dance.”

“The children were engaged in the workshops and really enjoyed the activities. The leader was able to control the classes well and was professional, yet friendly at all times.”

“All pre-planning and communication was good. John the dancer turned up on time and was well prepared. It cost each child about £6.00 for the experience. First half hour was an assembly for both classes where we practised some of the moves by retelling the Gingerbread Man. This cleverly linked to parts in The Ramayana story. First group had full 40 minute workshop but second group had finished in 30 minutes. They should have got their full time really. It would have been good if we could have kept a copy of the dance notes and been able to download the music to keep as part of the price. It was a good experience for the children and we live in quite an affluent area but can see price might put some schools off as John came and went within 2 hours so was it value for money without being able to keep some of the materials? We have previously paid £10 and had visitors here all day.”

“The drama workshops were very fun and engaging! This was the same from reception all the way to year 6. Lots of the children were heard talking about how much they enjoyed their workshop. It was also a wonderful way to introduce many of the eco-school topics to the children and hopefully these sessions will help frame our next steps. I would say that as a point of improvement that the end ‘final presentation’ although exciting, could be a little better. It was a tight squeeze fitting in all the year groups and it was a big job for one person. However, it was great that the children could see each other’s work and I loved watching the children’s reactions. Thank you so much for visiting us!”

“Our children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. It was a great way to consolidate the learning they had completed in class as well as give the children an opportunity to learn in a different way. The workshop was professionally run and it was wonderful to see the children work together towards their final piece.”

“The leader was very lively and kept the student's attention well, especially during the brief outline of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and used students well. There were plenty of giggles and horror as she paired the pairs of main characters who suddenly realised what they were actually acting out! The students worked through short sections of the play with a PowerPoint background and interacted with pre-recorded narration. By the end of the day they acted out a short scene.”

“Both children and staff enjoyed their workshops. We bought workshops for all classes in our school from reception children to our year 6 children. The only thing I would have changed would have been that each year group was able to look at a different text. We had some year groups that had to do the same text as we were only allowed 3 different workshops per day. Other than this there is nothing else that we would have changed.”
