Bring the magic of circus arts to your primary school with Skylight Circus Arts! Our fun, inclusive workshops are designed to inspire and engage children from EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Through interactive activities like juggling, plate-spinning, and feather balancing, students will learn new skills, build confidence, and have fun in a safe, supportive environment.

Our workshops are perfect for school events, enrichment days, or as part of your physical education programme. Whether you’re looking for a short 90-minute session or a full-day experience, we tailor our workshops to suit the needs of your students and school.

What Your Students Will Learn:

• Basic Circus Skills: Juggling, feather balancing, spinning plates, and more! Fun, age-appropriate activities that are easy to learn.
• Teamwork & Cooperation: Students work together in small groups to practice and master their chosen skills, improving communication and social skills.
• Confidence & Creativity: Circus arts encourage children to step out of their comfort zones, boosting self-esteem and self-expression in a non-competitive environment.
• Physical Benefits: Improve balance, coordination, and flexibility through hands-on, physical activities that keep kids moving and engaged.

• Tailored Workshops for EYFS, KS1 & KS2: Activities are age appropriate and designed to engage young learners.
• Inclusive & Supportive Environment: All students, regardless of ability, can participate and feel included.
• Experienced Trainers: Our skilled circus artists are experts in working with children, ensuring a safe, fun, and memorable experience.
• Flexible Locations: We can bring the circus to your school, or you can visit our fully-equipped studio in Rochdale.

• Short Circus Workshop (90 minutes): Perfect for introducing students to the basics of circus skills. Trainers will demonstrate fun skills like plate spinning and feather balancing, with plenty of time for students to try their hands and feet at different activities.
• Full-Day Circus Workshop: Expand the fun with a full day of circus activities! In addition to juggling and balance skills, students will have the opportunity to try stilt walking, tightwire, and even simple acrobatics. The day can end with a mini-performance for the students to showcase their new skills.
