Testimonials
Lisa Cousins
Activities coordinator
The King’s School, Canterbury
We have been fortunate to work with Paul for the past two years and he has run many successful workshops with students of all ages (13-18). He is an articulate communicator and I have always been impressed by his professionalism.
Each time he comes to school there is a real buzz about the place.
It goes without saying that Paul is an amazing performer, but what is incredible is the way that he is able to encourage beginners to gain their confidence and also inspire the more advanced to push their skills and try new tricks. He has even weaved some maths into his juggling demonstrations, explaining sequences and patterns!

Philip Oldroyd
Headmaster
Sevenoaks Prep School
It was the finale to a themed week at school and we could not have wished for a more accommodating, professional, entertaining and appropriate person to interact with the entire age range of children from 3 to 13.
There was a range of skills that were initially displayed and then taught to the children. These included juggling, diabolo and plate spinning.
On the following day, Kinetic Circus put on some fun and highly skilled shows at our Parents’ Summer Fair which were enjoyed by children and adults alike.
If you are looking for a fun, active, informative and stimulating experience then you couldn’t do much better than hire Paul.
Rosie Sykes
Head of Faculty
Barton Court Grammar School
Over the last two years the P.E. Department has enlisted Paul from Kinetic Circus help to run a circus skills workshop in school as part of our Year 7 Arts ‘Focus Day’.
During the day all our Year 7 students are off timetable and engaged in learning about the circus through a series of physical and artistic workshops.
He is 100% reliable and takes the effort and time to work closely with staff in order to deliver a unique and appropriate workshop tailored to meet the needs and requirements of the pupils in our school.
His rapport with the students is excellent, putting them at their ease whilst challenging each of them and his relationship with staff is very professional. We’ve had some excellent days with Paul and the pupils love him!
I have no hesitation in recommending Kinetic Circus to you.
