| Barnstondale Centre | The trip provides our children with the opportunity to develop their independence and social skills. For many of them this is the first time that they have stayed away from parents so staff are able to provide opportunities to enhance independence and self help skills. | 11 July 2022 | |
| Barnstondale Centre | Our children with special needs are given the opportunity to develop their independence and social skills whilst on residential. For many of our children this trip is the first time that they have stayed away from parents so it provides the opportunity to develop self help and independent living skills. | 11 July 2022 | |

| Go Ape Thetford Continuous Belay Course | The Team Game activities were not suitable for the age group which was attending and therefore somewhat disappointing. The Course itself was great and the pupils enjoyed that, however I do not think it is value for money. | 09 July 2022 | |
| Whitlingham Adventure | Overall comments from pupils attending were generally good as they got to do two activities in one day. Pupils were however off the water (in some cases) up to 40 minutes before the end of activity time. This, in addition to a very long safety brief, meant that time on the water was minimal. Some of the activities were led by enthusiastic instructors but some delivered activities that led to pupils not being fully engaged. One activity was poorly conceived and led to an injury to a pupil which ruled him out of any further activity for the rest of the week. There appeared to be conflicting information about parking and a dispute between a rowing/sailing club which affected the trip arriving on two occasions. Overall whilst there were some positives, I believe for the age group of pupils attending and the overall experience, this was not value for money and we will not be returning. | 09 July 2022 | |
