Schools & Education

Our schools projects have helped thousands of children use circus workshops to develop learning skills, hand eye coordination, balance, confidence and the ability to work as a team. A non-linear approach to education allows each student, in accordance with their abilities, to actualize and realize their own potential through the wide range of activities that circus offers.

Our playful and high impact shows spark imaginations, whilst our teaching residencies inspire students with the belief that everything is possible. Our aim is to leave children empowered by their own successes.

Beyond regular workshop provision and wholesome, good-time circus shows, we also provide:

  • Residential programs leading to school productions/celebrations
  • Educational Theatre – Science Circus – Show and workshop event making scientific theory accessible through fun, practical, hands-on activities
  • Curriculum-based learning activities combining arts and crafts, costuming, field studies, physical pursuit, team challenges, problem solving and reference projects

Let’s… Circus work on a project commission basis, working in partnership with schools, clusters and local authorities to deliver quantifiable objective lead projects.
