| Kingswood West Runton | The staff at the visit made the trip safe and enjoyable. The children learnt to work as a team throughout the week. | 08 July 2021 | |
| Hilltop Outdoor Centre | Always amazing. The staff, from the office to the activity instructors to the catering and housekeeping teams are all friendly and patient. The instructors give the children confidence to try things out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves in a supported way. We have been visiting Hilltop for over twenty years and have a great time every year. It's a fab place for a school residential. | 08 July 2021 | |
| North of England Zoological Society - Chester Zoo | It was far busier than we had been led to believe. Queues to see main animals were up to an hour. The map had not been updated to show one way systems, so very confusing and difficult to plan a route | 08 July 2021 | |

| Go Ape Temple Newsam Continuous Belay Course | Students were able to gain confidence on a smaller course before testing themselves on larger courses. The level of personal challenge for each individual was a huge success in building the confidence and self belief for our students. Whilst some students didn't go on to complete all courses available every single student pushed themselves and left the event proud of what they had achieved and with increased levels of self belief based on their day out. | 07 July 2021 | |

| Banham Zoo | We thoroughly enjoyed our day out at the zoo. The zoo had plenty of toilet facilities which was great and there were plenty of things to see. There were lots of available places to picnic, although I think we could have been in trouble if it was raining. We really enjoyed the bird display that they put on and we were very grateful for the trail booklets and pencils we received on arrival. It was just a shame they could not offer any educational workshops as they had building renovations going out. Overall it was a brilliant day out and was enjoyed by all who attended. | 06 July 2021 | |
