The challenges facing circus schools

  • Every apparatus has its safe capacity

    Two trapezes, one silk, one trampoline. A class's capacity is not the size of the room, it is the equipment that can be supervised at once.

  • Courses fill by age band

    Six to eight and twelve to fifteen work neither the same apparatus nor the same heights. A mixed course is a wasted course.

  • The annual sign-up includes the July show

    A weekly class from September to July, plus rehearsals and the performance. It is a commitment for a year, not a series of sessions.

  • Parents sign up, children come

    The reminder has to go to the parent, with the child's name in it, and the medical information has to stay on the record.

  • Wednesday and Saturday slots saturate

    All the demand rests on two days. What is visible online spreads out; what goes through the office concentrates.

Practical guide: Circus schools

  1. Each class's capacity set by the number of rigs that can be supervised at once, not by the floor of the big top.
  2. One class per age band and level, each with its own slots.
  3. The annual sign-up set on recurrence from September to July, rehearsals included.
  4. Holiday courses published with their dates and age bands as soon as the school calendar is known.
  5. A "date of birth, medical information, photography consent" field at sign-up.
  6. The parent's number on the child's record: that is where the reminder goes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does circus school cost in the UK?

Around £250 to £500 for a weekly children's class across the year, and £120 to £300 for a week-long holiday course. Set your own prices.

What safety rules apply to teaching aerial circus in the UK?

There is no licence and no protected title, but the rigging is regulated and this is where inspectors and insurers look. Equipment used to lift people — aerial points, rigging, harnesses, crash mats aside — falls under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998: a thorough examination by a competent person at least every six months for lifting equipment used for lifting persons, with written reports kept, plus pre-use checks recorded. The structure the points are fixed to needs a competent structural assessment. Add a written risk assessment under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, instructor qualifications recognised by your insurer, enhanced DBS checks for work with children, and a licensed venue with a fire risk assessment if you perform to the public.

How do I limit sign-ups to the number of rigs?

With a capacity per class.

Can I set a weekly class across the whole school year?

Yes, with recurring bookings and the holidays removed.

Can I manage courses by age band?

Yes, as separate services with their own capacities and dates.

Can the reminder go to the parents?

Yes. It follows the contact on the record, with the child's name in the message.
