Build togetherness and confidence in class with circus skills!
Teachers and parents looking for an inspirational way to build their children’s confidence and teamwork should consider the range of workshops and clubs provided by Circus Wessex. The Wiltshire-based charity runs bespoke workshops for every type of school, as well as five youth clubs, two circus clubs in Amesbury and Salisbury and its own Youth Circus, giving children a chance to perform.
Children enjoy a wide range of activities on a variety of equipment, ensuring everybody is included, regardless of ability and experience. The aerial rig allows children their first taste of the trapeze, while the balance beam, the unicycles, and the silly cycles, give everyone the chance to achieve “the impossible”, with a little practice.
“We like to give the children a bit of a thrill and a whole lot of fun,” says Circus Wessex’s ringmaster Jonathan the Jester. “We believe positive activities are an important part of education, which is why we run five youth clubs, all of whose members can perform in our circus.
“In schools, we really want to let pupils try something new. We offer a lot of choice in how they pursue activities and what they work with. Some children like to work alone, some like to work with peers, many are studious while others are playful. Circus caters for all these qualities in a single session.”
