| Holland Park Ecology Centre | We had an excellent experience at the Holland Park Ecology Centre. From beginning to end they were incredibly helpful and informative throughout the booking process, pre-visit and of course during the trip itself. All members of staff and parents felt completely at ease and assured that the day was in good hands and that everything would run smoothly and effectively. The children had a wonderful time. Along with repeatedly stating that it was the best day ever, they learnt a great deal about deciduous and evergreen trees (linking in accurately with the Year 1 curriculum) within a fun and explorative environment. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and professional throughout. I would highly recommend the Holland Park Ecology Centre. | 05 April 2022 | |

| Go Ape Delamere Forest Park Continuous Belay Course | The course and staff are excellent and 60% of the class loved it. However, there was a much higher than an anticipated portion of the class that just couldn't do it. In fact, they were petrified and only managed to get to the top of the steps. | 03 April 2022 | |

| Wandlebury Country Park (Cambridge Past, Present & Future) | We really enjoyed our visit to Wandlebury Country Park. The staff communicated clearly prior to the village and were very engaging during the trip. There was a good range of activities on offer and the children really enjoyed their stay. All of the trip was based outside, including lunch, which was fine for our needs but it was quite a cold day for the children. | 02 April 2022 | |
| Banham Zoo | Great day out for the children and a wonderful talk delivered by a wonderfully engaging education leader. | 01 April 2022 | |
| Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens | Wonderful venue and learning experience for the pupils. We did however encounter an issue with one of the toilet blocks being locked. We did ask for the block of toilets to be opened as our 4 yr olds were needing to use the facilities after a long coach journed. Sadly they kept refusing to open the block with roughly 270 pupils needing to use them. After much discussion they were eventually unlocked but we had to chase around to the other toilet facilities with lots of pupils in tow. Overall a lovely day and enjoyed by all though this did dampen our arrival. | 01 April 2022 | |

| Plas Gwynant Outdoor Education Centre | The centre is an excellent place for a trip. They have all their information on line so that uploads to evolve and messages to parents were simple. The staff are experienced and adapt the activities as necessary to ensure that students get the best out of their experience but that health and safety considerations are paramount. | 31 March 2022 | |
| Exmoor Adventures | Well organised and ready to receive the group. The instructors related to the group really well and we all had a purposeful and safe experience of the activities. The bikes we used were of top notch. The supervision was superb and they knew how to extend our more competent riders whilst at the same time having empathy for those who were nervous. | 31 March 2022 | |

| Beamish Museum | The Education Lead at the Museum was extremely helpful prior to the visit. A pre visit is a must as your trip leader needs to see the museum, as it is huge, to plan your trip well. Staff extremely helpful on site and the museum itself is really engaging. | 31 March 2022 | |

| The London Eye | Amazing opportunity for our students to visit London and go on the Eye. For some of them it was the first time they'd been on a train and into London. They thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the opportunity. | 31 March 2022 | |
| North of England Zoological Society - Chester Zoo | 31 March 2022 | ||
| PGL Boreatton Park | Pupils had a brilliant time. The accommodation and food were excellent and there can be no complaints. Activities were good. Maybe more variety of activities would have been good to have offered and activities that pupils rarely have the chance to do outside of school. For example the girls really enjoyed rifle shooting as they have never done it before. The netball tournament was well organised although some of the umpires were too lenient, which is OK for younger players but not for years 10 and 11. A stricter, but fairer approach would have been appreciated. | 31 March 2022 | |

| PGL Little Canada | Most activity leaders were brilliant. One was not (possibly hungover). PGL management onsite informed. Safeguarding was supported at all points and all children had a brilliant time overall. Not all the activities for open (covid, and not all staff trained on all activities) so not everything we wanted was available. | 30 March 2022 |
