Our Story

Welcome

ESSCA is a sixth form college that also runs after school clubs during term time to teach children of all ages from 4+ all the way to adults too, a wide range of circus performance skills including floor acrobatics and aerial skills from: trapeze, hoop, silks, ropes, etc. These classes are a great alternative to traditional sports as they allow children and young people to build confidence while increasing their strength, fitness and flexibility as well as socialising with other students in a fun and supportive environment.

For adults, it’s an interesting alternative form of fitness exercise which could lead to discovering a new skill and even open the door to new opportunities!
