| National Coal Mining Museum for England | This is an excellent place to visit if you are learning about the local history of coal mining. The staff and volunteer guides are both helpful and knowledgeable. There is plenty to do, see and learn. | 08 February 2022 | |
| The Training Partnership | Very well planned and interesting lectures. The venue is good and the students are well catered for. The only issue was that there was a large queue to enter the building and we were late as a result. | 07 February 2022 | |

| Outlook Expeditions Ltd | The trip did not run due to Pandemic, and the experience had with trying to recoup costs for parents means that we will now be using a different expedition company going forward. | 07 February 2022 | |
| North of England Zoological Society - Chester Zoo | 07 February 2022 | ||
| SEA LIFE Birmingham | An excellent and enjoyable place for secondary art students to make work and be inspired. Rich in photographic opportunities and learning about sea life at the same time. A one way system made it easy to keep track of students and there was plenty for all to see without becoming crowded. | 07 February 2022 | |
| Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Glasshouses | Very large and diverse area that was rich in subject matter for art and photography students. Glasshouses were ideal for winter and contained a lot of exotic plants to study, as well as vast parklands with more plants, interesting architecture and exotic birds. Coach parking was available but difficult. | 07 February 2022 | |
| Field Studies Council - Flatford Mill | The rooms were very cold - additional blankets and duvets needed. Accommodation quality and standards had unfortunately deteriorated since our last visit. | 07 February 2022 | |
| East Lothian Council Outdoor Learning | Fantastic experience with highly professional, knowledgeable and engaging staff who put the pupils at ease immediately and encouraged them to challenge themselves. Great links to the STEM curriculum and pupils could see their learning in real life contexts. The staff supported and encouraged the development of interpersonal skills brilliantly and the links with Health and Wellbeing outcomes were evident throughout. My only wish would be that ALL pupils are offered these opportunities on a more regular basis so it is not seen as a one off novelty, but an integrated and valuable way to deliver the curriculum and see the 4 capacities in action. If all pupils had these experiences on a regular basis, this would allow for depth and progression of the skills learnt. | 07 February 2022 | |
| Carisbrooke Castle | A very poignant and thoughtful morning had by all. Very well organised and gave the children time to reflect. | 07 February 2022 | |

| Tamworth Snow Dome | 06 February 2022 | ||
| City of London - Hampstead Heath Education Centre | Please note that address of Centre is different to the Golders Hill Park venue. This needs to be adapted for next year. The workshop is FANTASTIC and the students had a wonderful time. | 06 February 2022 | |

| Yorkshire Sculpture Park | YSP is fantastic space for young children to explore safely. It is a great way to experience the great outdoors through the seasons. The art on display is wonderful and provides a great stimulus for work on site as well as further research and work afterwards. | 06 February 2022 | |
| Warning Zone | It is very educational, practical and engaging. However, the organisation of groups and staff could have been planned better. | 06 February 2022 | |

| Tamworth Snow Dome | 04 February 2022 | ||

| Wimpole Estate | It was a great day out but I felt the children didn't learn as much as they could have. | 04 February 2022 | |

| Holkham Enterprises | 03 February 2022 | ||
| KidZania London | This is a fantastic venue to raise aspirations and give pupils the opportunity to try out a variety of careers. Unfortunately, around 4-5 of the activities were closed as so this was disappointing for the pupils that were looking forward to them. | 03 February 2022 | |

| Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium | It was a wonderful trip the children were fully engaged and could apply their classroom knowledge to extend the experience. The planetarium show and classroom activity were educational and interactive. It was very well organised and the communication given by the science centre was clear and informative. We would highly recommend this trip in future. The rocket workshop was interactive and engaging however could be made more exciting if the rockets flew further. | 02 February 2022 | |
| The Cirdan Sailing Trust | 02 February 2022 | ||
