Excellent venue and event. Well organised (March 2022 - Primary School)
Well planned and organised. (March 2022 - Primary School)
This activity was well managed and organised. The class was halved and carefully prepped in health and safety. All pupils made excellent attempts to participate and were made to feel safe and supported. Communication was clear and articulate and member of Holkham staff were very professional and helpful
The only recommendation I would give is to allow schools to have sole access to this activity as we were among the general public using the high ropes which I felt made it much harder to keep all pupils safe at all times, luckily we had a high ratio of staff to children but without this it might have been tricky.

The student's found the trip very interesting and informative, particularly the tour of the carpentry workshop, the blacksmiths and the sculpture studio (February 2020 - Secondary School)
Although a spectacular venue and well worth a visit, this trip did not fulfil expectations in terms of learning outcomes: No reference was made to Victorian life / Christmas and so the learning outcomes were not met. (December 2019 - Primary School)
