| The South Downs Planetarium | A fantastic place to visit; the children were thrilled and got so much out of it. Dr John Mason is a living legend; his presentations are always so full of detail but pitched just right for children. All COVID precautions were very well handled and staff and children felt safe and supported to have a great learning experience. | 22 October 2020 | |

| Stubbers Adventure Centre | Can't praise Stubbers highly enough. This was a first class trip for our Year 2 and Year 3 students. We thought that because of their age, there would be tears and many refusals but the children exceeded our expectations. This is down to the exemplary instruction they receive from well trained, committed instructors who know exactly how to get the best out of each and every child. This is the second year we've done this team building trip for these year groups and it is now a permanent fixture in our curriculum provision. | 30 September 2020 | |
