| Queen Elizabeth Country Park | Well maintained park with knowledgeable staff and good activities. | 01 December 2021 | |
| The Training Partnership | Good, but should have enforced COVID restrictions and mask wearing more in the venue. Also, slightly late starting due to lone queues. | 01 December 2021 | |

| The Living Rainforest | It is a good venue. The quality of the guide showing round the group plays a large part in how successful the visit will be and how much the children learn. On this recent occasion the guide was very good for my group. The lunch arrangements are cramped but I am unable to offer any suggestions. The outdoor play area goes down very well too! | 30 November 2021 | |

| Shuttleworth College | A very interesting place that's full of history as well as hosting the RAFAC competition, which was the purpose of our visit. The staff were very helpful and interactive with cadets when asked about anything as this is also a working collection of aircraft. Open to the public and organised trips. | 30 November 2021 | |
| SafetyWorks! | Very informative. | 30 November 2021 | |
| Holocaust Educational Trust | Excellent! Pupils were engaged by the speaker and wanted to know more about the impact of WW2 on the speaker. | 30 November 2021 | |

| Museum of Liverpool | Museum were very accommodating! The weather wasn't great and we were able to make use of the 'lunch room' even though it wasn't our allocated time slot. We were also a little delayed arriving for the first workshop due to traffic, they still ran both sessions for the correct amount of time. | 29 November 2021 | |

| Lower Moss Wood | A fantastic visit even though it was rainy and blustery. Ray the nature warden is knowledgeable and gets the students involved in his cross curricular walk around the woodland. Will definitely be taking students there in the future. | 29 November 2021 | |

| Kingswood Colomendy | As the lead teacher, I was disappointed by the lack of activities. We were promised 'course director and activity' time when we arrived. However, the activities were virtually none existent until we complained that the children were getting cold and bored. After that, the leaders were much better and actually planned some activities like aero ball and shooting. There were no drinks stations this year also. | 29 November 2021 | |

| Manor Adventure Norfolk Lakes | A well organised centre. Instructors and other staff were exceptionally helpful and delivered a high quality experience for the children. The food and accommodation was a very high standard. I wouldn't rate the centre 5 stars because there wasn't an allocated meeting room for our school which meant it was very difficult to speak to our whole group together. Also, the organisation of the accommodation was challenging to manage. | 28 November 2021 | |
| Hilltop Outdoor Centre | Incredibly professional with a huge focus on children's safety and wellbeing. All children were included and given the chance to achieve. | 28 November 2021 | |

| Shepreth Wildlife Park | Shepreth was great. The children loved seeing the animals. The talk was not great, all on a screen with no hands on activities for the children. Next time - it would be better to do this trip later in the year, when warmer. | 26 November 2021 | |

| Coventry Cathedral Schools' Team | The Schools' Team were very easy to contact and were incredibly helpful, supportive and welcoming. They communicated efficiently and always responded promptly to phone calls and emails. They made efforts to accommodate the requests I made regarding bookings and facilitated a pre-visit. During this, I was shown around by a member of the team who gave comprehensive detail on the programme and provided great reassurance to myself as an ECT. | 25 November 2021 | |
| Butser Ancient Farm | Very well organised visit. Activities were hands on and accessible to the children. Timings of the day were excellent to ensure children had enough time to explore, but also fit lots into the day. Staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and gave children lots of opportunities to ask questions. A member of staff guided our group through the whole day. | 25 November 2021 | |
