CIRCUS PaZaz set up its Big Top in the grounds of St Augustine’s Priory in Hillcrest Road, Ealing, last Friday.

The school’s nursery, preps and juniors spent the morning learning circus skills, among them plate spinning, juggling, stilt walking and the high wire.

And the next day the grounds were full of pupils and their families, plus staff and the surrounding community as everyone was invited to enjoy the circus and other entertainment.

Due to popular demand, it put on a third show for enthusiasts, while other visitors took in face-painting, a bottle tombola, bouncy castle, barbecue, music, balloons, an obstacle course, velcro golf and even sumo wrestling.
