circus arts in education

Performing arts are an effective tool for enriching the curriculum. Circus is a way of including arts into education that is different from the norm of dance and drama in schools.

"Creative teaching is enhancing pupils' concentration, memory, motivation, communication and motor skills" www.teachernet.gov.uk

"Investing in the arts can transform schools. The arts can raise standards, change attitudes, improve behaviour and increase the quality of teaching and learning." The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.
