WHAT THE TEACHERS SAY

I am a primary drama teacher and I haven't enjoyed a piece of theatre in education or even a show aimed at children as much as I enjoyed these informative and entertaining productions. They are the best shows for children I’ve ever seen.
Tilehouse Combined School, Bucks


The children wished every history lesson could be as fun. The 3D brought everything to life, making the production more memorable. We can’t wait for the next production.
Skippers Hill Prep School


Entertaining and educational, with a lot of information, greatly increasing the children’s interest in history and enjoyed by the adults too! It left a strong impression and was much talked about after
Boothstown Methodist Primary


An excellent show which kept up the very high standards we’ve come to expect from the BSC. The children said it was “better than television”!
Kings Norton


A really great show and very useful for us teachers. It kept the students on the edge of their seats and covered everything we wanted from the topics. The songs were our favourite parts!
Devi Sant School


All our children thoroughly enjoyed the production. A clear history timeline and a very memorable presentation, particularly the songs!
Christ the King School
