“All our classes thoroughly enjoyed their World Book Day workshops. Ellie, the workshop leader, did a remarkable job of bringing the texts to life in an engaging and fun way, which also supported the children's understanding of the stories. A real buzz was created around the texts and the children had a wonderful day.”

“Chris was fantastic! He ran each workshop efficiently and engaged the children right from the beginning. He began by introducing the story to children and recapping what they already knew, making sure to highlight the setting and the characters. The children participated in a fun warm- up before he introduced the workshop. Each workshop was appropriately planned allowing children to use their own ideas as well as those he suggested to them. There were opportunities to ask questions and share ideas throughout. The performance at the end of each workshop allowed the children to showcase their piece and perform this successfully to music. We would welcome Chris back in a heartbeat! I will certainly recommend him and the company to the other schools in our Federation. A massive thank you from the children and staff at Sutton Primary Academy. I am unable to attach photos to this review but please feel free to share our Facebook Post on the visit on our school page! :)”

“What a fantastic day! Julia arrived nice and early with her DBS and ID - which doesn't always happen with visitors! Julia had 7 sessions over the course of the day, from our smallest in Nursery right through to Year 6. We chose 'Where the Wild THings Are' as our book for the day and the differentiation was clear between the age groups. The children had great fun performing to music and creating their own pieces of dance under Julia's careful and clear direction. Many of my staff commneted on what an excellent teacher Julia was - we would cheerfully have her on our staff! Thanks for a wonderful day!”

“Not such a great session this year, perhaps the text was too complicated. There was a lot of talking and a lot for the children to try to remember and not much active participation.”

“What a fantastic day!!!! Emma engaged the children from the outset of her sessions and produced work of the highest quality. We loved the new structure of the workshop and leading towards a whole school performance at the end of the day made it purposeful and meaningful for the children. All children could access the sessions and achieve and the end of the day performance was so wonderful to watch! This is our 4th year of West End in Schools and was definitely our favourite so far! We can't wait to have you back in next year!”

“It was lovely to welcome Ellie into our school to work with children in Reception to Year 2. She had a kind and caring manor with the children and quickly built up a good rapport with them in the sessions. The session was interactive and kept children engaged throughout. She was also very patient and attentive with our SEND children. Thank you for today. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all.”

“We had an AMAZING time today - all the children loved their workshops and the staff were all massively impressed as well. We have quite a few visiting speakers and our visit today was the best quality and the most stimulating for the children - from 2 - 11 years - that we’ve had.”

“West End in Schools helped us to immerse the children in the story of 'The Butterfly Lion' by Michael Morpurgo. The workshop leader was great with the children, encouraged them and also engaged them throughout the session. The children all felt like they achieved so much, and came away with an experience that will also help them in the classroom. Because of the workshop, lots of the children have spoken highly about dance and drama being something that they would like to take further with them in the future.”

“Our faciliator, Scott was excellent with our students and managed to deliver excellent sessions to pupils from Nursery to Year 6. The sessions were lively, engaging and enjoyable for all ages. Not only did the books come to life for our pupils, but it was also excellent for staff to reflect on their own practice and how they explore their class texts in the future.”

“West End In Schools provided a fantastic opportunity for children to engage with stories in a unique and creative way. All of the children at Ashwicken C of E Primary school thoroughly enjoyed bringing the stories to life and had a lot of fun in the process. Angela, the facilitator, was excellent with the children and helped them produce an impressive performance in a short amount of time. We highly recommend these workshops to others as they were a brilliant addition to our World Book Day activities.”

“Great workshop for our Year 6 children which they really got stuck in and came out of their shell! They were able to recal what they have learnt in Macbeth previously and further their learning. Great pace and tasks for the children to complete. He was also very supportive with a children in my class that has autism. Micheal Garvy was fantastic!”
