Black history topics

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!

Amazing workshop that the children loved. It was wonderful to see the children's faces, they were so happy. The coach has so much energy ... unbelievable!

Laura was really engaging and informative. Laura also had great behaviour management which meant the children were excited, but that this didn't get in the way of any learning!

The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the staff attending were very impressed too! How Emily had each child captivated and fully immersed in the experience was lovely to see. A truly fabulous morning!

Confident, engaging and involved all children even those who spoke no English! Thank you

The children and staff were absolutely buzzing after the workshop thanks to Rhia.

My colleague and I absolutely loved Devora's workshop, and so did the children. The level of challenge was high regarding speech and language and the children not only enjoyed themselves but learned something new too, especially when discussing emotions and body language. Devora made the children comfortable and her warm demeanour with them made them more confident and happy to take part in the activities.

The children really enjoyed the active workshop and the leader was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and had great behaviour management!

Staff were VERY impressed with Lucy's professionalism, content of workshop and the way she interacted and controlled the children. The children loved every minute, their attention was held perfectly and they talked about it for most of the afternoon. All the children and staff say THANK YOU

This workshop was exemplary. The staff said the children responded really well to Nicholas and he really captured their imagination. Thank you!

All the children loved the sessions and were thoroughly engaged.it was pitched at the right level and fired their imagination. Please thank Abi for a lovely day - we all enjoyed it.

I like the fact that the workshop was almost completely prop free - shows how we could innovate stories ourselves too!

As usual, brilliant.

Ashley engaged the children. We were very impressed with the knowledge he had and his management skills. We would definitely use him again and do book workshops yearly.

Laura arrived in good time and carried out a fantastic days worth of workshops with all classes. In talking to the team every class really enjoyed the workshop. The workshop really fitted in with our history week and the children took a lot from it. 

Behaviour management is always very good and a bonus. Flexibility and creativity excellent. Thank you!

Children all engaged and enjoying the input. Daisy made special efforts to include children with difficulties.

Each time I popped my head through the door, I could see all children engaged and in role experiencing drama first hand. A stimulating approach to teaching children drama. Thank you

Emily was very inspiring and engaging but also had brilliant behaviour management skills and could keep the children focused.

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

Hannah arrived on time, set her activity up herself and then got on with it. The boys loved the workshop and it was well worth the money.

I am so glad that I was emailed for feedback as I was going to contact you today to let you know how fantastic Jen was yesterday. All the class teachers commented on how brilliant she was with the children and most importantly the children absolutely loved the workshops. Please pass on our thanks to Jen she was amazing!

Emily led the three workshops excellently and was flexible to our changed and rather tight timetable! The children thoroughly enjoyed the workshops, thank you so much!

I didn't personally see the workshops but feedback from teachers was very positive - children were fully engaged throughout. Will definitely book again next year.

Excellent as always. Very positive comments from staff and pupils. Thank you so much Jessica

I felt Katriona was incredibly engaging and managed my class well, who are a very challenging Year 2 class. She ensured they all had loads of fun but used great techniques to keep them engaged when some children were getting silly.

I have already asked our secretary to retain all of your information so that we can book another next year! Utterly brilliant! I particularly loved the control that Rachel had; she took no nonsense, but at the same time totally enthralled and involved all of the children!

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 am very grateful fo the continuing high quality of provision on offer. The children are always enthusiastic about the sessions

Excellent awareness of the children very quickly. Good behaviour management strategies. Everyone enjoyed the sessions

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.

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!

It was fantastic. The children were engaged the whole way through and Yvies enthusiasm and behaviour management was brilliant. They learnt a lot about body language, prescence and confidence.

It's amazing what was packed into the hour. Great stuff!
