(October 2019 - Primary School)




There were some excellent things such as the venue, some of the activities like trap building and knife skills, and the enthusiasm of the staff. However, the staff need some behaviour management training. There were too many long transitional points where children got bored and behaviour slipped. The staff needed a wider repertoire of songs and games as the children got bored of these too. (October 2019 - Primary School)
