| NST Travel Group | The meals were excellent, however there was a miscommunication between NST and the hotel (A+O Hauptbahnhof Aachen) and we turned up for dinner, only to discover that we had not been booked in on our final evening (contrary to our itinerary). The only option on our way home was fast food or sandwiches and I felt disappointed that our students had not had a warm, nutritious, well-balanced meal that day, before our onward travel. It also caused additional stress and inconvenience needing to figure out where to stop and how to feed 36 students and 5 staff on the way home. NST were not able to help advise on this, so we had to figure it out with the coach driver. NST are refunding as for the costs of this. The hostel was noisy as next to the station and a very busy road. Though we were generally happy with our rooms, lots of the key cards did not work correctly on arrival which meant a lot of to-ing and fro-ing up and down 5 flights of stairs. One room had curtains hanging off the curtain rail. We really could have done with having our rooming earlier ( despite much chasing, only received the night before), particularly as we had an autistic student with us. | 06 December 2022 | |

| ZSL Whipsnade Zoo | For our current year group the venue was fully inclusive and accessible, if we had a child who was wheelchair bound, this would have posed a challenge due to the vast amount we walked. Even though the zoo itself is 100% accessible, the person pushing the wheelchair would have physically battled. The gentleman in charge of the educational workshop was incredible. He engaged with all the children and he happily answered all their questions. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals in the zoo. We thoroughly enjoyed his session. | 06 December 2022 | |

| Science Oxford | This is a really safe environment where children can explore both inside and outside. Only one school can visit on any one day so there is no sharing of facilities. The activities are led by a trained member of Science Oxford and the centre is well resourced so that all children are able to do something and join in. | 05 December 2022 | |
