What’s On For Schools

Multi-sensory fun & immersive experiences for schools

We are passionate about creating fun, stimulating and accessible sensory experiences for the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities community around the UK.

We have been working with some of the UK’s most influential special schools and organisations for over 20 years to bring immersive experiences and sensory shows for schools. These include The Childrens Trust, Chailey Heritage Foundation, Treloars, Post 19 and schools such as Jigsaw, Carew Academy, Sherwood Hill, Sherwood Park, Woodlands and Icknield to name a few.

Our Makaton trained professional actors and facilitators are highly specialised in working with children and young people with a wide range of disabilities including visual, hearing and sensory impairments, ASD, PMLD, SLD and complex health needs.

Captivating the senses using aromas, textures, sounds and activities every workshop and show is designed to bring young imaginations to life, enhance learning, encourage communication, build connections and develop emotional, behavioural and motor skills.

How do our sensory shows for schools work?

Our team will visit your school for one day. Our visit will include:

Timed sessions (timing will vary depending on workshop or show chosen (including 30-minute breaks in-between sessions)
Participant numbers will vary per session dependent on accessibility and number of wheelchair users
A resource pack. This will prepare participants with Widgit storyline/songs & images of characters
Set up/scenery, props and instruments

Please note: some installations may take up to 90 minutes to set up. We will require use of a space large enough to set up and for participants to move around. This must be allocated to our team for exclusive use the whole day.

We understand that every school and every student is different. Please contact us if you have any questions. We are always open to new ideas and are happy to discuss your specific requirements.

“A really lovely show for the children to enjoy as part of the topic. You were so inclusive and this meant the children were confident and at ease!” (Palatine Primary School)

“The show encouraged individuals who have never got up on stage before. On a rainy Tuesday afternoon you have both brought a lot of happiness, great interaction with our users.” (Leatherhead Link Day service)

“It was such a lovely performance and the children loved being a part of it. Its always fun and engaging and you really think about how to integrate the audience. We love how when you come you take into account their differences and work with their abilities”. [The Children’s Trust]

Chicken Circus 2023 School Reviews

“We loved having Head2Head Sensory Theatre come to visit West Hill for two performances of Chicken Circus. Chicken Circus was absolutely brilliant and just so much fun – just what the children needed (and staff). The actors and the company really understood the needs of our children and the whole day was so enjoyable for all as a result. The children were so entertained and the performances were just amazing, keeping everyone engaged and captivated throughout. We were able to prepare the children for the visit with the comprehensive resource pack that was sent well in advance, which was brilliant. It was so informative and pitched exactly at the right level to ensure it was accessible for all. We have already booked our Christmas pantomime and are eagerly awaiting some much welcome fun at the end of another term. Thank you Head2Head Sensory Theatre!”
