The children were really engaged and excited by the workshop. Claire was very energetic and engaging, and the children responded to her really well. Thank you very much for coming into our school.

All the feedback I have had from the class teachers is that they were very impressed with the workshops, both the content and knowledge of the leader. In my opinion what is a very sensitive subject was handled with care and appropriate sensitivity. Great workshops!

I would like to recommend the Angry Arthur workshop to all KS1 classes, not just those who are experiencing anger issues. The PSHE element was strong, with children being encouraged to identify and express a whole range of emotions. Rachel's story-telling and antics had the pupils enthralled and her management of their behaviour was excellent.

I thought Oliver controlled the sessions really well and the girls really had fun. He also varied what he did with each each age group.

I thought Claire was very engaging and picked the right level for the children. They all loved it and learned a great deal of facts through role playing, a really good introduction to a history topic - Year 1 teacher

– Mrs V Derrett

It was amazing!! She is very skilled and had all of the children hooked. I picked up some good ideas for my practice too. Excellent!

We have always enjoyed Perform coming to our school and leading these drama workshops. James was absolutely brilliant from the word go. On arrival he was very friendly and asked many questions to inform him of the children he would be seeing and protocols we have. He led his workshops with great energy and enthusiasm despite the hot conditions of our hall. The children loved every minute of it!

– Sara Bond

The children all responded well to Natalie and she was able to get them all joining in the story and actions. The ideas were geared to the children’s ages and lasted long enough to keep their attention .

A good use of music and minimal props .

– Joanna Carrington

Excellent control of the children using her voice and clear expectations of behaviour.

– Jane Ross - Filton Avenue
