| The Golden Hinde Educational Trust | Very good link with our Explorers topic. | 30 March 2022 | |
| York Museums Trust - Yorkshire Museum | Gardens where lovely however the museum was closed because of repairs | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | The museum is excellent, with plenty to see. I would recommend to obtain a map and plan the route beforehand and also to book tickets for the Wonderlab, as this is an interactive section of the museum. Unfortunately, it was booked nine months in advance, so we were unable to buy any tickets for our visit. | 30 March 2022 | |

| Crosby Hall Educational Trust | Very successful trip. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Science Museum | There was plenty to see in the museum and the IMAX experience was amazing. Unfortunately, we could not get tickets for the Wonder Lab as it had a long waiting list. I would recommend planning the trip beforehand, as we lost some time deciding where to go first. | 30 March 2022 | |
| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | Children had a great trip and enjoyed their visit. There were a variety of plants, trees and flowers for children to explore. Plenty of outdoor space for children to play and facilities were good, clean and easily accessible. | 30 March 2022 | |
| JCA Condover Hall | Certain aspects of Condover Hall were great. The accommodation was in dorms of up to 10 beds, the downside is that there is only 1 shower and toilet per dorm. There was a good variety of food and the specific needs of those with different dietary needs were well catered for. The indoor and outdoor day and evening activities were well supervised and the instructors gave clear instructions. The netball was played over two sites with a good walk between them. This meant that staff had to be split between the two areas which wasn’t ideal. Overall, the weekend was enjoyed by all. | 30 March 2022 | |
