“Ella was a great teacher, she made the session engaging and fun for all the year groups. The dance was easy enough for all the children to grasp easily. She was energetic and positive and praised the children. In fact, most of the children thought she was excellent. The whole school performance was amazing and it was great for the children to showcase what they've learnt. We would definitely book and recommend this company again. India was very responsive and extremely patient. Thank you Westend!!!!”

“It was a brilliant session! The children learned a lot about Diwali and learned a lovely dance to perform at the end. It was differentiated for the different year groups.”

“I asked my Year 5/6 class what they would take away from the experience. A lot said that they would take away how excited the soldiers were to go to war and then how depressed they became. Other points that they enjoyed: • opportunities for acting • understanding how it felt to be part of the war • loved the poetry that was chosen Other children said: ''I liked how we had to do the different actions, it was very interesting'' Year 4 ''I really enjoyed the group activities, working with my friends.'' Year 3 ''Learning about what happened during WW1 and WW2 was fun to learn about'' Year 4 ''I enjoyed the part where we had to copy the actions on the war posters'' Year 4 ''I liked reading the poems and creating the freeze frames'' AML Year 3 Overall, a huge hit. Thank you!”

“The children had a wonderful time during their sessions on the Stone Age and the Greeks. Keira was very professional and created a wonderful rapport with the children. The only thing the teachers thought may be an improvement was if the member of staff dressed up to match the specific era and if they could have brought some resources for the children to use e.g spears, stone tools, dressing up clothes etc.”

“We thought the instructor was great, but didn't really feel the content was as thought-provoking as it could have been or that it covered new areas that we haven't already discussed at school. When she asked at the end, 'What have you learned today?', the children found it hard to come up with ideas. Some children definitely enjoyed the drama aspect. The freeze frames all brought about similar responses.”

“The instructor was friendly and approachable, the children were pleased to engage with a different culture through dance. They rushed the session a little, finishing 15 minutes early, and our children found the dance moves difficult. We will ask West End in Schools back but we hope that the team will give our children more instruction in future to enable them to participate fully. Thanks for coming!”

“The children were engaged and enjoyed the new experience of working with Lee when exploring the poem. Working in groups to create the freeze frames was an exciting way to deepen their understanding and I will certainly use this myself in the future. Lee was knowledgeable and his range of experience informed the session.”

“Jess was really lovely and great with the children. The session was more of a storytelling exercise than a performance which I was led to believe. Also, as a teacher, I find adding music or costumes to the role-play helps the children get into character.”

“Our children very much enjoyed the drama elements of the session, as well as all the group work. Our host (Hayley) was very enthusiastic and great with all the children. To improve further, we agreed that the use of props would enhance the session. Our children also said they would have loved to dressed up in the session.”

“Considering the same workshop was taught again and again to 6 different classes, the energy levels did not disappoint! It was amazing to see the children so engaged and smiling and laughing. The man in charge of the workshop was incredible and had a way with the children! I will definitely be booking once again for next year.”

“Great sessions for all of KS2 - would have liked these to have been longer to allow children to explore the characters and language more. The pitch of the whole school performance narration was a little immature for KS2 but would have been perfect for KS1.”

“Fantastic active sessions that pupil's enjoyed, whilst building their knowledge of World War One. The presentation of ideas was strong and engaging. I liked the discussion of takeaways at the end of the session, as pupils gave some very thoughtful answers - demonstrating good understanding.”

“Emily was brilliant. in a short space of time, she created a great rapport with the children. She provided a fast-paced, engaging introduction to A Midsummer Night's Dream which introduced our topic well. I have already recommended the session to another local school.”
