| The Bushcraft Company - Boughton Woods | A fun and engaging trip that provided many a 'first' for the Year 5 cohort of children, both being away from families as well as an opportunity to engage with nature. Many thanks Bushcraft! | 18 January 2022 | |

| NST Travel Group | A very time-intensive trip leader experience with poor service. Fortunately we have run a high number of similar trips before so I knew what had not been considered, but on every email sent I received an email to give me an agent’s working hours, stating they were only available two days a week. Lots of extra work created to book the experience as we wanted and incorrect assumptions made by the agent. A device sent out to use whilst away, which was dated, not easy to operate without reading a lot of information and added an additional task to post the device back. Poor scheduling on the Saturday with insufficient time for lunch. Poor communication with the coach company who did not have the capacity to fulfil their role fully as we needed. We switched to NST due to their Covid promise but probably won’t use again. | 17 January 2022 | |
| Pineapple Dance Studio | Exceptional, world-leading, friendly, awesome experience. Flexible to work around the problem created by poor scheduling by the travel company. | 17 January 2022 | |

| Rushall Farm | It is important to take enough adults for 2 per group as 1 teacher working on their own with the Rushall Farm member of staff is insufficient and makes the trip very stressful. | 16 January 2022 | |

| The Living Rainforest | Tour was very good and linked well to Immersion topic and science topic of animals and adaptations. Good for Year 4 age too. The rainforest was slightly smaller than we thought. Journey was very long and ended up in traffic for 40 minutes as the driver didn't check ahead to see for diversions and roadworks. | 13 January 2022 | |

| Natural History Museum | The trip itself was really good and the children had a lovely day. When we go next year, we need to ensure we have a workshop booked so that they are not walking for as long. Likewise, we need to schedule a longer time for the children to complete the activities in the different zones. | 12 January 2022 | |
| Bletchley Park Trust | 12 January 2022 | ||
| Hooke Court | Felt that there were not enough staff, activities were running late, staff were turning up late as they had so much to do. The last day the activity was running an hour and a half late which meant a late return to school which impacted staff and parents. We understand this could have been COVID related. Seemed to have lost something from previous visits. | 12 January 2022 | |

| Wandlebury Country Park (Cambridge Past, Present & Future) | The children’s feedback was that they had a great day. They have remembered a huge amount about the Iron Age and linked in their prior learning of the Stone Age and Bronze Age. They also learnt a little about how the Romans had an impact of the Iron Age leading into our summer topic- Miss Scott | 07 January 2022 |
