| PGL Little Canada | As it was the end of the season, a lot of the staff seemed less enthusiastic to motivate the children. We also had a lot of unplanned free time - 90 mins - between meals and activities with no designated areas or planned activities. The site isn't suitable for the children to run around as there's a lot of exposed tree roots which are tripping hazards and it's on a slope. We had a few minor injuries (scrapes and bruises) and run-ins with other schools during this time. | 15 October 2022 | |
| PGL Little Canada | As it was nearing the end of the season, the enthusiasm of the staff was lacking. We also had a lot of downtime this year - 90 mins after meals - which were unplanned and the site isn't suitable to allow children just to run around as it's on a slope. Designated activities and areas for each school would be useful in this time. We had a few falls, injuries and run ins with other schools during this time. | 15 October 2022 | |

| Coventry Transport Museum | Fantastic place to visit. The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout the day. The workshop was excellent and the children loved the practical elements. We really needed longer in the museum so that we could get around all of it but the children (and staff) thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. | 14 October 2022 | |

| Celtic Harmony | Remember to always ask the children to bring their rucksacks. Monday was a good day to run the trip it was less crowded on site. Plastic water bottles should be removed from lunches prior to taking as they are not needed. Staff need appropriate footwear for mud as it can be muddy, long sleeves and leggings a good idea under Celtic tunics. | 13 October 2022 | |

| Natural History Museum | The venue itself has amazing artefacts but it is really crowded so is difficult to manage your groups safely. If you are doing fossils, rocks, dinosaurs, volcanoes or earthquakes as your topics, then it is great. | 13 October 2022 | |
| Warwick Castle | The Educational Tours were not value for money. Better to go in the Summer months when there are more activities available to the public. Our students fed back that they could have benefitted more by having a treasure trail to follow and source information from. Educational Manager was willing to listen to our concerns and provided an extra 'sword skills' workshop which was very popular. | 13 October 2022 | |

| Cadbury World | We would have loved to receive a specific educational talk - but it cost extra to book. It was an enjoyable day and there were many links to our GCSE curriculum. | 13 October 2022 |
