Still thinking about our "Young Entrepreneurs" sessions for your Home Ed child❓️

At WMCC, many of us are home educating parents ourselves, so we're aware of--and keen--to support others when it comes to complying with the new Schools Bill.

That's why every child that takes part in our Young Entrepreneurs programme will have plenty of work sample to submit to the LA (and plenty more fun, besides)! ✨️

We'd love to have them with us for the next session on Tuesday morning, from 10am to 11am.

If you still have questions, feel free to DM us or e-mail info@rogueplay.co.uk ✉️

Aerial Rigging Fundamentals from last week... 💪

Great to see so many folks in attendance, getting stuck in with some hands-on experience.

Rigging is such a crucial foundation of aerial circus, so we loved to see so many of you getting involved. Knowledge like this should be accessible; that was our mission of the day, and we think it went off without a hitch--well done, everyone! 👏

Missed out on the session this time around? Don't worry, we'll be posting as and when we've organised the next date, so just keep your eyes peeled in the meantime. 👀
